Description
fucked up title. i know.she's probably a really nice girl.
backstory: this was shot right around 05:00 ... this particular morning ... the club wasn't open ... i'm used to seeing legions of drunk fucks vying for the cab that i want to take me to the airport.
i had a feeling these girls could either be "weekend girls" or perhaps "professional girls."
the blond standing wasn't drunk.
she asked how my day was going.
i smiled.
didn't say anything, though.
i just put the m up to my eye ... as i had to remember this.
a girl so drunk she had to be wheeled out by security.
amos is my favourite security guard.
these two ... didn't know them.
but ... after they put up with the fact i'd been shooting ...
homey the security guard, who's obviously loving the attention of the drunk chick, said, "no pictures."
i laughed at him.
he flagged a cab for me and opened my door.
i offered to tip him.
which is customary for anyone doing any-fucking-thing for you in vegas.
he gave me a dirty look.
i said, "maybe that's all a quick lapdance would cost with your little friend. you already got a fucking chair, bro."
he shut my door.
and ... the girls we being picked up by a stringy blinged-out dude in a fucked up sentra.
i surmised it was a pimp.
he looked like a pimp.
but a poor one.

This is really, totally awesome. I love the story behind the photograph. And the story in the photograph! Really great composition, and I like how your eye flows from the standing blonde to her wheelchair friend and then to the security guard she's looking at. Nice capture and really great lighting.

great narrative. funny picture and title. her legs aren't all withered and such, so i'm guessing the guy was just pandering, hoping for a freebie.
...or maybe there are johns who go for that?

It's Vegas. The girls that come here dress like that on purpose, whether they plan to make you play or give it away for free.

Using a wheelchair to escort a drunk out of an establishment... How polite, I don't think it could happen in my little corner of the world! The apoteothic stance of the wheelchaired girl makes it even more priceless. Thank you for a wonderful photo, you've just boardened my definition of civility

Hilarious story, man
By the way, how did you get them to sign releases? Don't they have to do that if you are to use their photo in any way?

there are several decisions about what one can do with "art photography." if someone is in an area designed for public ingress or egress, they don't have an expectation of privacy. laws are different in different places. how do you think paparazzi get all of those photos? paps and street photographers ... using the same kinda laws!

Right, but in the USA, you can't sell a photograph of a person without a model release, or else that person can sue you if you make any money off of it. Right?

where did you get that information? i suggest you google certain precedents which have been handed down in the case of selling prints of people on the street. there's a good new york one that came down a couple years ago.

What a moment... I've seen almost the same thing right here too. Just no hook-ah would be wheeled out on in that way, guards just throw them out... If I were to take a picture, they'd probably break my camera or worse....

Hey you, I hope your well....
I had to chuckle over this, I guess in LA, anything happens, I thought your sarcasm brilliant, that just wouldn't happen here, but then again *thinks*
Anyways, as always love this,
Have a wonderful weekend,
Cheers
Steavie!

Im in a very critical mood tonight.
Interesting scene you have captured. Definitely good for making your own conclusions of what's happening.
It seems the highlights are very blown out while the photo is lacking overall contrast, being dominated by midtones. Or is that just due to me having a retarded screen or something?
