I've been attending the Donnie Smith Bike Show every year since 2008, 2 years before I even started this blog. When I did start the blog, I posted all my photos in black-and-white. In part, it was artsy, in part, it was different, and in part, my camera & software weren't very good and I could hide a lot more in black-and-white. Eventually, when my daughter was born, I got a better camera and I've been posting in color ever since. My photography and editing have also improved with time too. Since I'm on a slideshow kick, I wanted to make slideshows for the Donnie Smith show and, before I did that, I figured I should re-work my black-and-white 2009 & 2010 show photos ( here and here ) and include never-before-posted 2008 photos. So let's step WAAAYYYY back in time and relive 2008 starting with David Polgreen's "King Diamond" (and check out the vintage CoC shirt in the background).
