room with a view: the boom boom room at the standard

Things have been a little hectic around here! We’ve had family parties, lots of viewing sessions, and a consulting appointment with other photographers. After this post and in a couple days we’ll be back to our regular blogging!

A couple nights ago I was in for a treat. I photographed an event at the brand spanking new Boom Boom Room at the Standard in the Meatpacking District. Now, I’ve been a fan of the Standard in downtown LA for quite some time and love their rooftop deck area, so I was more than a little interested in what NYC’s version would look like. It’s mostly indoors and utterly fantastic views are available in all directions. I can’t show photos from the event, but this is the space.

and this… this is the view from one of the single-stall bathrooms (not shown: a little curtain on the lower half of the window to block visibility!)

I wonder how long it would have taken me to get up there without this event? hmmm…
