Allan busted out the ladder to tweak a spot.  This is my kind of place.

I shot this press again because I was unhappy with the shots I got earlier in the week.  This is what I was going for.

Lawrence McNaught, Director of Programming and Development at The Registry can tell you there are over 300 gigs booked here each year.
