A Strongman and His Son
« on: March 06, 2017, 22:00:02 »
Brian Shaw is 6'8", 415 lbs. A mountain of a man, a fierce competitor in the world on Strongman competitions.

He is however, one of the nicest people on the planet and a man who loves his family above all else.

Captured after the first round of Strongman competition at the Arnold Sports Festival in Columbus Ohio March 2-5, 2017. He took first place in that round and would go on to win the entire competition.

Nikon D500, tamron 70-200/2.8 VC

Andrew, this is great.  There is so much emotion, not to mention the unusually large man.

I think the strongman, and his family, would like a print of that image.
