This week was a short one for me because I had to fly down to Florida for 2 days to move from one apartment to another. I contacted the Cambridge restaurant Upstairs on the Square throughout the week to set up a photo shoot there for Friday evening. I've started to call to set up my own shoots which puts me in touch with a lot of the PR representatives for places around the city which is nice for making connections. Anyways, I was able to sneak through the side door of the resutarant 15 minutes early for my shoot before the skies opened up for one of our summer 30-minute long monsoons. Once I got there I had 2 assignments. I was asking questions, and photographing for Bar Tab where we feature the bar area of a restaurant and one of there bartenders making one of their popular drinks. The questions to the bartender include "What is your favorite hangover cause (what's  your favorite drink)?', "What is your favorite hangover cure?" and "What is the best bar advice you have ever given?". After shooting this, I had 3 dishes made for my photograph by the chef for close-up images showcasing their summer specials that they are trying to promote. The theme here was crab. The dishes were constructed beautifully, and even though I strictly don't like seafood, they were tempting to try. Everyone was really friendly and helpful on my visit there and they offered to let me sit down for a drink with them until the rain passed.

I also attended my second event with Samantha and Kienna on Newbury Street. Fred Perry's was holding a store opening cocktail party at the event where I went to shoot Bostonians of the Day
