2005.07.26 Klondike Days Documentation - Blue Willow Restaurant

The grandson of the owner of Blue Willow Restaurant commissioned me to document their new, used concession trailer. This concession trailer was purchased off of Tony Roma's and is this grandson's pet project. The owner's grandson, Patrick Mah, is a university buddy of mine. He has about another year left in his bilingual Bachelor of Commerce degree since he decided to go on exchange to France and then travel southeast Asia last year. Blue Willow, like many other independent restaurant and food thingies, got shafted this year by the organizers of Klondike Days. They were placed in an area with no real rides, just a couple of carnies and garbage bins. They were also stuck paying the same price per square foot for rent for the ten day event.

Image is a composite of about half a dozen other photos. The fireworks display looked awful from this area due to the poor location and the density of the display was very low. D2X tripod mounted with roughly 1/2 to 1s exposure times at ISO 100 and maximum aperture.

Two cool carnies. I don't know what game they were operating but they wanted prints of this photo and exchanged a few stuff toys for the prints. Thanks Patrick for handling the exchange.
