Event Photography: Close-ups at the Bicycle Swap Meet
May 19th, 2010Last month's Swap Meet was a great place for the buying, selling and trading of anything having to do with bikes and bicycling.
It also presented a wonderful opportunity to engage in the art of bike-tography, which combines bicycling and photography. In addition to getting wide-angle shots of all the action, the Swap Meet was a great venue for close-up work.
I'm not talking about macro close-ups. (After all, the tread wear on used bicycle tires isn't that interesting.) More like "up close and personal" shots.
Take, for example, this look at two guys checking out used bikes...
Or how about the age-old answer of what to lean your bike against if it doesn't have a kickstand. How about a traffic cone?

Event Photography: Tucson Folk Festival 2010
May 11th, 2010The first weekend of May is generally when summer returns and breathes its fiery breath all over Tucson and southern Arizona.
Not this year. If you didn't bring a sweater and raincoat to this year's Tucson Folk Festival, you wouldn't have been very happy. And that would have been a shame, because the 2010 event was heralded as the best ever.
I'm a little biased about that last point because I was the Folk Festival's official photographer. In two days, I covered three stages and 36 acts. Here are three:
From the Courtyard Stage, the Mas o Menos String Band...
From the Old Town Artisans Stage, Tiffany Jo Allen...
From the Plaza Stage, Saturday evening's headliner, Chris Hillman, formerly of The Byrds...
