Cheese for Tammy

Last weekend was the annual Mid-Atlantic Leather Weekend, and Metro Weekly's top photographers were there to capture the spectacle

in all its glory. From Leather Cocktails and the selecting of the new Mr. MAL to Sunday night's Dark Dance, Kendra Kuliga, Michael Wichita, Thomas Castagnola and Todd Franson let their shutter-fingers do the snapshotting. So enjoy as we bring you over 65 pictures chronicling the weekend in glorious, fragrant, manly leather.
