Happy hour at the Alden hotel.  Photographed with Nikon D300, 35mm lens

As part of a photo shoot I needed to conduct for an upcoming Through the Gadling Lens feature, I asked two good friends to join me at a tony little hotel bar for happy hour last night.  And happily, they obliged.

The evening was full of secret confessions, heartfelt encouragement, scandalous memories and uproarious laughter. 

And a couple of delicious, fruity martinis.

Mmmm, those look divine! Nothing like drinks with good friends, either ;0)

That greenish one with the cherry in it looks very inviting. But then again...there's something about that orange peel. Sounds like a delicious time.

Fabulous shot, Karen - it looks like a professionally staged "drinks with friends" photo rather than a photo of an ACTUAL drinks with friends night! Where are the lipstick stains? And the remains of the happy hour munchies?! Well done!

Love the swirly citrus peel. Sounds like a fantastic night - I'm jealous!

Fun for Me by Moloko is one of my all-time favorite "shake it in your chair" songs.

Sure wish I coulda been there.

How fun is that? You get to go drink martinis and take pictures for work!
