I'm not even sure of the year, but best guess puts this around '96. It's the Hasselblad sales force after they won a trip to Sweden. This was taken somewhere up north as we headed to Lapland. The trip included some incredible memory makers, including white-water rafting just north of the Arctic Circle.
However, like every Throwback Thursday post, there's always a story that goes beyond the image. I've written a lot about my good buddy, commercial photographer, Nick Vedros, over the years. Well, Nick has his very own super hero pose and somewhere along the trip we all posed for a Vedros moment.
Sixteen years later, Sheila captured me, Tony Corbell and Nick in that same pose at PPE in New York and there's another reason why Vedros is a legend, beyond his amazing skill set. The guy just keeps making us laugh!
This is also one more example of the importance of printing images. Had this been on a disk somewhere, it would have long been gone. The top image was shot on film, while the bottom is digital - but either way, do you know where all your best memories are stored?
