Description

It’s 2:00 in the morning. You’re grumpy because you’d spent several hours making press photos for a GLBT Rights protest in suburban Elk Grove Village. None of them came out. You’re also hungry. So, what do you do? When you get back to Chicago, you go to the 24-hour Jewel in Boystown to stock up on munchies. The 24 hour Jewel with the one beleaguered cashier ringing up orders for the 50 or so revelers in various states of intoxication. Nearly everyone has been put out on the streets by the numerous local bars that close at 2am. The line is endless. Your hunger increases. Suddenly, as if by some stroke of collective appetite (beyond the bounds of endurance) half the line breaks open their food containers and begins to eat the contents. And like any good ninja photographer, you pull out your trusty Nikon and start snapping away. A few of these shots actually come out. This is one of the better ones. This picture was made on at the Lakeview Jewel in Chicago during the wee-small hours of October 24th, 2009.

I hope no one double dipped! I love this shot...candid photography is always fun, especially with real characters involved. I won't say anything incriminating, but suffice it to say this shot makes me want to visit Cocktail again, especially on one of their martini nights. Great work.

LOL, Great work ninja. Try being that cashier at 2am ringing up people of various states of intoxication. Most of them are fun, but then you get those few bad drunks who can't hold their liquor and are really mean. Once in a while you get the one drunk who wants to kick you're but and the you have to call in the police to take care of him. I don't miss retail or the third shift of a super center.
