Full Moon Tattoo and Horror Festival in Nashville
I was hired to shoot an annual Tattoo and Horror festival in Nashville recently. It was held at the Nashville Convention Center on the same weekend as an Anime Festival of some kind. That was a very strange day; comical and entertainingly bizarre. I can’t even begin to explain how strange it was but maybe [...]
Recent photo
