And the big man joined the band
From the coastline to the city
All the little pretties raise their hands'...Bruce Springsteen, 10th Avenue Freeze-out...

Bruce Springsteen, 1981

I always had a camera at hand during my years on the road touring with various musical artists. Made a good deal of images and filed them away until a few years ago when I started to scan them all into the digital world to prevent any further damage. It is amazing how these Ektachrome images will deteriorate over time... Not sure what I am going to do with these but it is time to finally get them out of the shoe-boxes and organized.

Came across this Springsteen last week from 1981, The River Tour - I believe this was Cincinnati, the last stop on this particular tour. 

Captured with a Nikon F3, 105mm Lens, Ektachrome Color film - Scan was done by JS Graphics, Jon Scott in Chicago - they do really great scanning and print work. It is rare that I send anything out but I can highly recommend them - and they are fast on the turnaround.
