It's about time to post some recent photos from Sophie's. Regular visitors to the blog know the routine, there's no real rhyme or reason to any of these, they're just pictures I've taken at Sophie's recently. Our team has pretty much been in last place most of the season, but I hope these pictures reflect our laid-back attitude. Above is Adam (far left), then one of his friends smoking (can't remember the name), then Chris in the middle and then of course Caveman. Off in the background you can see Grace.

This is Abdi, our newest player. He joined our team on the fourth week of this season to replace Freddy, who has been in Puerto Rico all season. I heard Caveman say that he has given Freddy his word that there'll be a spot for Freddy when he gets back. I don't know who is going to step aside so that Freddy can just walk back on. Sure, longevity is one thing. But in my book, if you snooze you lose.

Just a "copy shot" of Caveman from an old print that was laying around the bar. I took the print over to the pool table and propped it up against a cue ball so I could get a steady close-up. If I had to guess I'd say that print is easily 10 years old. Looking at some of the others from the same stack of prints, one definitely gets the impression time stands still at Sophie's.

Here is a picture of Johnny contemplating a ball in hand. He's a friend of many at Sophie's but teammate to none. I decided to leave this picture full frame, uncropped, just because there's something about the light at the top of the frame that I like. Cropping out the light cuts into his hat. And I like how the bottom of the frame is totally parallel with long rail on the table.

This is Josh, as usual, being the silent sniper that he is. On this picture I cropped the white edges off because I thought the blackness of the picture would look good bleeding into the black background of this site.

Finally a shot of Slima, waiting for a busy Friday night crowd to subside so he can take his shot.
