Wonderful photo essay, thank you for taking the time to post them all!

 

[Calhoon]

Great view of the show. Thank you for taking the time to post these shots up Caleb! :thumbup:

 

[coldsteelburns]

Thank you Caleb! These are incredible shots, I just wish that "I" recognized more faces to go with their names, be even so, I recognize quite a few and it's still very cool to see a whole 'nother perspective of the show (as opposed to other pics and vids I've seen that is ) since I've never been. So.. do you plan on posting every knife you were able to shoot in a single thread similar to Coop? Thanks again for the time to take and share all of these

I agree with Coop. I have always loved your knife shots. Now I am equally impressed with your eye for "the moment" in regards to candids.
Spectacular work Caleb.

Caleb,

Thanks so much for taking these pictures and sharing them with those of us who were not there this year. I like your pictures very much - they capture a sense of "life" and "action" that makes the viewer feel like they can understand the context of everything going on when the picture was taken. :thumbup:

Thanks for posting.
Cheers Keith

Thank, Keith! I always love talking with Bruce! Kool accent, kool knives, kool guy. Very photogenic too.

These are wonderful photos.. As long as I'm not in it. really great focusing and the mood you captured is excellent.

I actually wish I would’ve gotten a few pics of you helping Cooper out but thanks Jon! I appreciate it!

WOW!!! Thank you, Caleb!

No problem!

Love the candid shots - they really capture the feel of the show.

Thanks, Roger! I love getting shots of people when they aren’t looking. It’s so much more genuine.

Great job Caleb! thank you.

You’re welcome!

You did a great job, Caleb. Thank you for your time and talent.

Brion

Thank you, Brion! Good memories indeed!

Thanks for the photos, nice work as always.

You’re welcome! Glad you like them!

Caleb,
It was very nice to meet You at Blade.
Your photos are TERRIFIC, not one bad photo in the whole bunch.
This is the show that I remember, So Many Happy, Talented and Interesting People In One Place.
Thank You For Sharing Your Photos With Us.

Great to meet you as well, Tim! Thanks very much!

Some people are good at one thing, and others can excel in many arenas. I'm good at only one thing.

The quality of these shots and your instinct on WHEN to press the shutter is unparalleled.

Bravo! So many smiles shown and elicited.

Thanks for the Show tour. This is literally my only visit inside, through photos. How cool.

Coop

Well thanks, Cooper! I really appreciate that! It was great talking with you at the show and I’m loving the pics YOU got as well!

Caleb, Great photos it is always a pleasure to see from your perspective. With even being there all 3 days there is so much more going on away from my humble little table.

Thanks again

Bing

Thanks, Bing! I totally should’ve gotten a selfie with you and my new toy! Next time…

I've said before, and it's still true...you have an "eye for the moment" like Cartier-Bresson. Thanks for your perspective!

Thank you, I appreciate that! I’m glad you like them.

Great photos Caleb.
You really have a knack for conveying the excitement of Blade Show and the CKCA banquet through images.

Thank you, Kevin! I’m glad I can help show off the show and banquet.

Fantastic photos !!!
Thank you so much !!!

Thank you and you’re welcome!

Thank you, it' like as being there

Glad to hear that!

Caleb,
I don't know how you managed to do it - but I mentioned a few memorable moments of My first Blade show in another thread and you captured two of them in this photo essay. Thank you so very much. You managed to capture my friends' favorite part as well - their time spent with Adam at his table. I especially appreciate the photos of the master and journey smith test candidates, how great to be able to share that with them through your photos.

As Bing said - these allow us to see even a greater story unfold

Thank you

Wow thank you! I’m super glad you enjoyed them!

Great pics Caleb!!

Thanks, Paul! I wish I had the time (and knowledge) and put captions on all of these but I’d rather just keep making photos.
I only shot knives for two clients in a hotel room at the show so they will be going into their own threads. I didn’t have time to shoot anymore knives there.

I agree with Coop. I have always loved your knife shots. Now I am equally impressed with your eye for "the moment" in regards to candids.
Spectacular work Caleb.

Thank you! That’s very kool of you to say!

Unfortuneately, I couldn't justify the drive to Atlanta this year and had to satify my show experience with the local Seattle International show from earlier this year. So, it has been an interesting series of threads and perspectives that have allowed me to "see" the show and give me a remote view of the flavor of Blade...
Caleb, between your candid shots, Coop's individual knife shots and STeven's insights, and having been before, y'all have really helped those of us who didn't make it get a very comprehensive feel for another wonderful Blade event.
Thanks for taking the time to bring us your perspective... :thumbup:
