About 15 years ago I came upon this old Duluth, MN pool hall photo, I pasted our pool team photos onto the original players body's, made an interesting photo, gave all the players a copy. From left to right, Dave Burger, Art Engstrom, Mark Berger, Stan Sunde, Peter Van Dyken. Dave and Art have since passed.

Great pool room
I finally had a chance to make it out to the SPOT. I was very happy with this room - tables, lightening, spacing between tables were all perfectly set up. I am looking forward to going back.
Brand new room in Nanuet, NY. Just opened a few weeks ago. Was there for Tony Robles' Predator Tour opening day

I got so many pics...
it's been a while since I posted in this thread... in fact I can't remember if I ever did. Anyway I got into photography so here are some pool room pics.
The action room at Q-Masters. Shot by stitching together several shots from a dslr with a sharp 50mm lens. The original is huge, but I'm only posting this small preview and a medium sized version available here: http://i.imgur.com/oO3EAqy.jpg
Upper floor, Breakers Sky Lounge. The place is really nice... this is a smoking area
and I sort of played up the haze a bit. It's not that bad usually. Downstairs is nonsmoking.
Also breakers. You can see the equipment is top notch. My buddy left me this break shot in straight pool practice, and I nailed it.
Revolution/Fast Eddies in Centerville, VA. The place used to be really nice, known as the Shark Club and featuring an actual shark tank. All the tables were upstairs with funky semi-circular couches near each table. Atmosphere was great. Then they got rid of half the tables, move the rest downstairs into a basement, and put a stage upstairs. Then a mechanical bull. Then one of those giant Jenga sets. Currently they do line dancing on certain nights. The downstairs was never as nice, though the new management did fix a lot of issues with equipment quality.
Schemengee's in Maine. I'm not saying you're always gonna see a scene like this when you shoot in Maine. But it's not exactly rare either. The room is quite nice even though I'm kind of being a dick to these two random strangers in the photo. They've renovated, and the cloth in the back is the fastest stuff I've ever seen. Like, faster than Simonis 760.
Spot Shots in Portland, Maine. Also called The Station and maybe something else, but it's always gonna be Spot Shots to me. They've redone the whole place multiple times, in demand to changing demographics (trying to add a restaurant, stage, dart area) and as a result of flooding. The last time I went it was all really new, carpeted smelled good, and generally a great place. They'd scrapped the obnoxious live music and failed restaurant, and apparently they even put back all the tables they'd removed from half the room, years ago.
Old school scoring beads at Fast Eddies (aka Revolutions) Fairfax, VA.
Eddies Fairfax is probably my most frequently visited room, they've got lots of tables, pretty good level tables, new-ish ball sets, and good people on staff. League nights are BOOMING. (note: the below is just a preview.
