I saw Elvis.

[Sonnar Brian]

In 1976, at the Capital Center in Maryland. One of his last concerts.

I used my Argus/Cosina STL-1000 with a Vivitar 200/3.5 T4 mount and Vivitar 283. Pushed Ektachrome. Take what you can get! I was 18 when I took these. A concert I'll never forget.

I used a slide-duplicator on my Olympus EP2. The crop factor helped greatly, off-stage was black.

WOW! A historical tour now.

Super cool. He doesn’t look as unwell as he often seemed to in that phase of this career.

I saw him in concert at Univ of Maryland in College Park Md. in Sept 1974.

Brian, what f-stop? 🙂 I'm thinking the flash didn't make any difference....

 

[Sonnar Brian]

The Vivitar 283 packed a punch. Elvis knew right where I was sitting...

I still have the flash, still works. It has led an interesting life.

 

[Retro-Grouch]

I saw Bigfoot, but my flash wasn't working.

Awesome. As Omar from the "The Wire" might say, you came for the King & you did not miss.
