[Leica] IMGS: Blacksburg Oyster Roast

[tedgrant at shaw.ca (Ted Grant)]

Hi Tina,
LOVE IT! :-) That's what documentary photo reportage is all about! Tell
stories and show life during the time, start to finish covering all kinds of
events of similar nature here coast to coast during the year was my "tough
grind?" ;-) for many years. Usually I shot  B&W with a couple or more
Leica's hanging off shoulders and neck.
If the event was on for a day or a week I roamed about shooting a series of
storytelling type images that would be selected for the next magazine
published and eventually to the National Archives of Canada.
The Chief Editor would tell me? 
"Hey Ted there's a "corn on the cob cooking festival" in SW Ontario so go do
your thing!" And away I went documenting it from start to finish! And those
type of assignments in locations all over Canada and overseas if it was of
interest to folks here at home?
But this was real photo story photojournalism rather than the "one street
photo a week if you're lucky?"
Beautiful look at life real-time. Thanks Tina.
cheers,
ted

Subject: [Leica] IMGS: Blacksburg Oyster Roast

PESO:

Here are the rest of the photos from yesterday.  This was actually before
the Burnt Mill Bar.  The Oyster Roast started at 10 in the morning.  It's
free and everybody is invited.  It is a fund-raiser, held every year for
charity, and there are buckets on each table for donations.  It's a small,
private airport and, usually, they have drunk Santas parachuting into the
crowd but it was too windy this year for even drunk pilots to fly!  There
was plenty of moonshine being shared and sold.  Tom would not eat any of
the oysters because they were steaming them in galvanized garbage cans.
Evidently, they do that every year and nobody has died yet!

And hit NEXT 12 more times.  These are all with the SL and 24-90 and all
AF.  I couldn't see what I was doing!

Tina
