Nostalgists for urban violence can pretend they're Niko Bellic, the immigrant hardman who stumbles through the crime-ridden version of New York City in the latest version of Grand Theft Auto. Or they can adopt the perspective of another Serb, photographer Nikola Tamindzic, who has staged yet another scene of blood and nakedness on the sidewalks of the Lower East Side. More photographs at Home of the Vain.

Not everybody's so impressed by high dynamic range photography. The relatively novel technique, which produced the gloomy Gotham cityscape we published yesterday, can also be used simply to pump up an image with color. Cheesy. Nikola Tamindzic's first nightlife pictures for Gawker made heavy use of filters in Photoshop, the standard photo manipulation software. But the photographer has gradually weaned himself off Photoshop and eschews HDR programs such as Photomatix. Here's a panorama of downtown New York (from Nikola's Home of the Vain portfolio site) using traditional means.

How to Be All Up In Da Club!
Michael Musto tells us how to be a "nightclub star" in his latest Village Voice blog! His advice is quite thrifty: "Track down the person with the free drink tickets and tell them you love their outfit," and "wear your absolutely shittiest coat. This way you can just drape it on a banquette rather than check it (thereby saving three bucks). Better yet, flirt with the DJ—no doubt named John—and he'll let you leave it in his booth. " Or do what I do: wear a cheap, ridiculous wig, and surround yourself with crazies. [La Daily Musto]

Get To Know New York's Hottest Photographers
It recently occurred to us that the men (yeah, they're all men) who take New York City's party pix are in a dangerous, fun, peacocky league of their own. And aren't they, after all, the most important people to know if you want to work the benefit circuit and the little red carpets? So who are the hotties behind the hot photos of hotties? Why don't you tell us which lensmens' charms inspire you to give genuinely good face? Ball-rolling: we hear extremely good things about former Patrick McMullan photog Chris Ford and WWD's Steve Eichner. Of course the Times' Bill Cunningham is everyone's favorite uncle. But who really uncaps your lens, ladies and gents?

Fashion Week: Heatherette
Gawker shutterperson Nikola Tamindzic followed the yellow brick road to Heatherette's Wizard of Oz themed show, which starred Lydia Hearst as Dorothy and Amanda Lepore as Glinda the Good Witch. You read that right: Wizard of Oz themed. "We just need to figure out a way to gay it up a bit. But HOW?" we imagine Richie Rich brainstorming. Anyway, Neel Shah was there, which pretty much says it all. If this is somehow still not enough for you, Nikola's got your gay gay gay ass covered with more here. More »

Gawker Photog Huge in the 'Voice'
Best Nightlife Photographer: I'm completely biased because he's one of my good friends, but that doesn't really stop other award givers, does it? It's my party, and Gawker's Nikola Tamindzic wins. His photos are beautiful mini-masterpieces that make everyone look better.Thanks, Village Voice's Tricia Romano! All this in reaction to the Paper nightlife awards? Nikola has been walking on air all day long, his little toes a-twinklin'. You've made him the happiest boy on earth. More »
