ARCHIVE: The Dreadnoughts ring in 2010

After looking through the archives for an image I needed to update, I came across a show I particularly enjoyed, and figured I would dust off some of the images and share them.

The shot I was looking for to update is at the end of the post, and remains one of my favorite concert catches.

Only the second time I have been able to tag ‘Travel’ for a blog post since I’ve been running this straightfromcamera.com site, and it was but a day trip.

If you look closely you’ll be able to pick out a few Mustangs, which have long since been my car of choice (I have a 67 2dr Coupe). Enjoy this rather large post!

Even older than the last post is this set of images. Back in 2009, when I was still relatively new to professional photography, I got an assignment from Pressphotointernational to shoot the Vancouver Peace Summit and The Dalai Lama in dialogue with other Nobel Laureates. It was definitely an amazing experience, and one day I would absolutely love to photograph him again.
