Seen Launch at the Ranch
Photographer of radiance Annie Ray set up shop near the door. At the far side of the Ranch’s rooftop terrace stood a Say Cheese photo booth. In between, at least six professional photographers prowled. And that doesn’t count all the guests who continuously snapped the social scene for digital posterity.

The Thursday night launch party for Seen, an online publication featuring user-generated words and images, brought out the forever young, the inveterate nightlifers and the just plain curious. They all seemed ready to indulge in the latest social media concept, while DJ Toddy B kept everyone circulating.

Typical conversation: Adam Lewis: “Oh, Michael Barnes, yes, we’re friends on Facebook.” Me: “Yes, of course.” AL: “When you friended me, I saw that Alex Winkelman was a mutual friend, so I asked her, ‘How do I know Michael Barnes,’ and she said, ‘Silly, everybody knows Michael Barnes.’”
Tyler Buckler and Magan Gibbs
I laughed demurely at the joke. Then suddenly, Winkelman herself pops up next to us. I nearly jump out of my skin. It was like Facebook (or Seen) come alive! You make a connection, then another — and there they are. Right in front of you.
