Artist Spotlight – Awesome Town Topic photo taken by local photographer Nick Vedros in the 1980s. Vedros was one of the first photographers in the Kansas City Crossroads District. On the day this photo was taken, Vedros and his girlfriend, Patti (now his wife of almost 30 years) were in his studio at 19th and Main (located above a palm reader, no less!). Patti looked out the window and shouted at Vedros to get his camera. Vedros wasn’t in the mood to take photos, but after Patti told him he’d be sorry if he missed this shot, he grudgingly glanced out the window….and “saw these incredible clouds”. He rushed outside and began taking photos, looking for “a foreground to go with the background”. Then he spotted Town Topic, and he knew he had his shot. Vedros is a frequent visitor to Town Topic, saying, “It holds a special place in my heart.” Check him out on facebook or on his website at http:www.vedros.com. Photos are available for purchase.
