Birthday

a couple of weeks ago i was invited to my Turkish Friend Ali birthday that take place at his antique carpets & ethnic accessory shop up on Meiji St. since i don't often take peoples portraits i was thinking this will be a nice chance for some practice & a nice present for Ali.by the time i got there the belly dancer show was already over but some people where still dancing in the traditional Turkish way and jamming in the back room. i did had a grate time and a refreshing change from the typical go to a bar/restaurant birthday.
