found some photos.

richard lubrich, tobey, felix and i were over at dave's place on russell avenue one summer afternoon, circa 1997, sometime before the "art hostages" exhibition (which richard organized) at the spanish kitchen.  i remember we just sat around just shooting the breeze and dave just got a little trigger happy with his 35 mm slr and took some shots, the above, was one of them. i found this pix together with SNAPSHOTS of the "closing of the onyx cafe" party that occurred early part of 1999.

"I don't care about making photography an art," said Mr. Steichen. "I want to make good photographs. I'd like to know who first got it in his head that dreaminess and mist is art. Take things as they are; take good photographs and the ART WILL TAKE CARE OF ITSELF."




the PHOTO GALLERY containing photographs taken at the Onyx Café is work in progress, most of these scanned negatives were recently unearthed. since i've benefitted a great deal from the onyx cafe(free coffee, etc.), it's now payback time to mr. john leech and to every soul i hung out with, with my photographs. enjoy!!!

the Onyx Café was more than just an institutional cafe to most of the regulars and myself. it was a "state of mind" without the aid of any mind altering pill. it was a place where you can actually feel how "timeless" the place was. it was a conglomerated convergence of people from all walks of life. from hollywood celebs to suitcase-geared travelling bohemians introducing themselves, and being welcomed (and not interrupting any intellectual arguments). it was the crossroads to every major city on this planet. it was happening! day and night, into day again. amidst the aroma of the coffee lingering in the air, there was also, all kinds of drama. but we will not go there. you can never complain about the taste of espressos and cappuccinos served here, nor how the architectural facade of the place appeared, nor even how people looked or dressed. people come here for the same one thing that everyone else is seeking --- and it's not just the java. it is..
NIRVANA. yep. and the whole crowd was experiencing it collectively.
