Sammy Hagar – Opening for Boston 1978


photo365 – Day 356

This was my first ‘arena’ show. General Admission to the floor of a hockey stadium and I managed to get front-ish. A then rather young and unknown guitarist named Sammy Hagar opened for Boston. I think my ears are still ringing from that show.

This was shot on HP-5 film ‘pushed’ to 3200 ASA, an astronomical number at that time.

Mosque of Córdoba / Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption, Córdoba, Spain


photo365 – Day 349

This is a truely fascinating and beautiful place. It started out as a Catholic church in the 7th century, was expanded and converted to a mosque in the late 8th and then back again to a Catholic cathedral in 1236.

It incorporates elements of early Greek and Roman architecture and reuses columns and other elements recovered from destroyed Roman era buildings.
