Dali Lama at Quest Field

Photo By Matt Freedman

A BIG thanks to Matt Freedman for taking this photo of me. Having the opportunity to photograph the Dali Lama at Quest Field in Seattle was quite an experience. I truly enjoyed seeing some old friends from the Seattle Times, Seattle P-I and the likes. Too many to name but you know who you are. You can see from the photo we were packed in pretty tightly but that is part of what makes it great is that everyone worked very well with one another. Even helped out one another when things came crashing down, meaning cameras and tripods. From my experiences this is not typical. I suppose it might have been an effect of the Dali Lama who creates peace just by being in his presence. More photos to come of the events and the Dali Lama in the near future. Oh, yes I am manually focusing with my thumb. :)

Of course I have to mention the Adventure Vest that I am wearing. I was the only one to come into the stadium with out the need of a bag lugged over my shoulder and I had a chair I could sit in too. Check out the video about the Adventure Vest.
