Blog # 16 Vision Quest 2 253

Aaniin,

March 26, 2014 was the opening of my 2^nd showing. This was a group show celebrating the 5^th anniversary of the Collective. The theme was 253, covering pretty much the entire pierce county area.

Most of the images were of the 66^th Annual Golden Gloves held at the Tacoma Armory at 11^th and Yakima. I got some great portraits there like Leo Randolph, the Olympic Gold Medalist and Stan the Man, the reason behind why we have AAA baseball in Tacoma.This Golden Gloves was my first and Stan’s 64^th. Mr. Mac was also at ringside.  My favorite portrait was of River, the girl that won the first jacket.

I had 18 images but, only 12 frames so I will have to rotate the photos.

The evening ended with the Duchess and her Art Bus, filling the gallery to capacity and some very appreciated sales.

For Vision Quest 1, Maiden Voyage, I closed with the Herbie Handcock song  but for this show I close with the Michael Buble` cover of the Nina Simone hit “Feeling Good”.
