Marc,

I nominate you as the official ALR event photographer.  Not just for this post but the several others you have posted from the recent CLA Show.  Great job!  Thanks!

There's a lot of good pics in that place!

First CLA show I went to was over in Florence Ky about '01-02. Had a Sony handi-cam 8mm and filled up a few hours worth of video.

Some really talented folks at them shows!!

I hear you, Marc...there were so many fine displays, it was hard to decide what to photograph!  A couple that stood out to me were Brad and Shane Emig’s display, and the Pratts and Ken Gahagan display. Awesome work in both, but those painted guns in the Pratt-Gahagan display were over the top!

I have to say Ian and Ken's collaboration on those two guns made the show for me. Most impressive.

I do regret not getting a closeup of your Moravian lion carving Mike. That is some fascinating work. God Bless, Marc

They ALL turn my crank but there's something about that Kibler rifle that just is special.  Thanks for all the pictures!  :)     Mick C
