As many of you all know, I do a lot of firearm photography. I was deeply honored to be contacted by Baron Engraving to do the photography for an auction coming up to benefit the Cody Firearms Museum.
I have to thank my girlfriend and assistant Candy Sugarman as she and I spent 3 days of shooting and reshooting the Jade Vaquero. I will be honest I put a great deal of effort to get the photos perfect to represent the revolver but still adding enough drama to make it visually arresting. This was a tough one but we got it shot and editing even learning a few things during the shoot.
This event is brought to you by the generous support of Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc., The Ruger Custom Shop, and Baron Engraving, engraved by Paul Lantuch. These industry leaders share a commitment to preserving and educating on the rich heritage of firearms. The beneficiary of this auction is the Cody Firearms Museum, ensuring that your bid not only secures an exceptional firearm but also contributes to the preservation and education of future generations about the important role firearms have had and continue to play in American history.
