In May 2008, Creative Loafing's photo nightlife blog QC After Dark was born. In the past three years, we've been to various costume parties, black-tie fundraisers, concerts, fashion shows, art exhibits, ladies' nights, Alive After Five's, college nights and so much more. Our photographers have snapped shots of Jersey Shore cast members, straight-laced businessmen, well-knowns like LL Cool J and Erykah Badu, local bands, drunken party girls, artists and even your occasional bum.
In doing so, we've created more than 750 photo albums for your viewing pleasure. And to commemorate QC After Dark's three-year anniversary, we're reaching back into the archives to showcase each year's most noteworthy photos. Below, you'll find the 50 best photos from 2008. In the coming weeks, check back here to see what shots we deemed to be the most memorable from 2009 and 2010. In addition, you'll get the chance to read up on the folks behind the scenes, with interviews with our photographers, and we'll reveal a special "superlatives" album.
But enough chatter ... on to 2008's photos!
