Not long after joining the Transportation group where I work here in Houston we hosted a Clean Technologies conference at Faust Beer Distributorship east of town. It was an interesting exercise...not because of the work involved, but because of the discovery of the owner's collections that were displayed everywhere. I worked with two different distributorships, this one and another that collected Civil War artifacts. Don't know what it is about beer distributorship owners...guess it's because they're rolling in dough and need something to do with it. It's a big plus for history, though, because the items are kept in immaculate condition and carefully curated. In the case of the Civil War guy, he had so much stuff that he hired not one but two historians - one at the doctorate level - to manage the collection full-time.
At these functions we were supposed to mix, mingle and drum up business for our programs. During a lull in doing those things I ended up sneaking away to capture images with the Big Cahoona, which was ever present at my side. Played with depth of field in the pictures posted today, with fairly good results considering it was indoors with terrible lighting.
