A few select images from the benefit concert at “The Great Pit Ball” in The House Of Blues, Las Vegas. Bands in attendance were Toetag, The Spyderz, Madball, and Sick Of It All. If you weren’t there, continue to help the cause and purchase a copy of VICKtory To The Underdog, or donate to Villa Lobos Rescue Center. A special thank you to Mr. Brandon Bond for creating the event, and his undying passion for the cause.

This is by far, the worst lighting I have ever come across for event photography, anywhere.

The Great Pit Ball – Las Vegas Red Carpet Charity Event

The Great Pit Ball, Las Vegas, NV

Brandon Bond, international tattoo artist and pit bull activist has been involved with pit bull rescue in his native Atlanta, GA for quite some time. Upon completion of his documentary film, “VICKtory To The Underdog” Brandon is hosting a red carpet charity event in Las Vegas, The Great Pit Ball to benefit animal rescue (more specifically pit bulls) and the Villalobos Rescue Center in Canyon Country, CA. Villalobos is the largest, no-kill Pit bull rescue center in the country. Some of my artwork will be hung in the charity auction at the event, and I have been contracted to be the event photographer.

I am no less than proud to be a part of this event, and even more proud to be able to donate artwork to help the cause. Sports Illustrated highlights what is happening now with the dogs, and tells a tale of how insanely mean they are not.

Stay tuned, I will bring you images and videos from the trip to Vegas, and the entire event as it unfolds.
