Vertex Halloween
Just around the corner from Rochester’s central business district, is a low, two-story brick night club. Vertex, Rochester's goth-themed club is an inclusive haven with many veterans who have spent their Saturday nights there for decades, alongside those who are there for the first time. You can barely see it at nighttime, just its dance floor lights through the window. Most weekend nights have a steady crowd at the bar and dance floor, but on Halloween, there is a line at the door before the club opens. People come from all over the area to celebrate the annual holiday, decked out, and dressed up in costumes, some of which have been planned a year in advance. This images were made on Halloween Night with an on-location portrait booth.
