July 14, 2012 This past Satuday I was hired to photograph a very special event for
Cole's Originators of the French Dip. They had invited the Professional drinkers from the bar. They have a special plaque specifically for each person who has been a regular at the bar for years.
This was an interesting documentary, the story developed as the patrons arrive. Mixing in the legends along with the current mixers there was historical in some way. It was nice to see the old school be in the mix of the new generation of the place.
Here are some images I took from the event. The goal was to capture a journalistic look at the patrons, and capture some portraits of the mixers.
