Unless I’m shooting a wedding, I can be found at home most Saturday nights. My nights of pub crawling and dancing in clubs are long gone. Call it a function of having kids, or maybe I’m just getting old – whatever.

A few Saturday evenings ago I was at The Smiling Moose Lounge on the South Side of Pittsburgh to photograph Lou Ortego, a.k.a. DJ E-Z Lou. Instantly I was transported back to the 1980’s as Lou spun hits from The Clash, The Cure, and Depeche Mode while kids danced or hung out sipping beer and smoking clove cigarettes.

Here’s a link to a slideshow with more images.

So if you’re in the mood for a night of dancing and carousing 1980’s-style be sure to check out DJ E-Z Lou’s show on Saturday nights.
