Some of my favorite events to photograph are the Hot Rod and Bike Nights on Beale Street. Especially the first events once the weather gets warmer. Since this takes place on Beale Street not only are there tons of cars to look at but people watching is also at a premium. Here are a few photos from last night’s event.
Finding the Light
Light quality is perhaps the most underrated aspect of photography. Here I definitely found it. Also underrated is our own Beale Street. I know a lot of locals like me write off Beale as an annoying tourist destination. It might be that sure but you can't beat the people watching. Good people watching = great photos.
Sunday on Beale
It's rare that I ever go down to Beale Street. But with Elvis week wrapping up I wanted to go down and shoot some photos. Also I did a little video for my Slow Memphis YouTube channel. With all the people watching and a protest downtown here are some of my favorites from yesterday.
