When I found out I would be shooting FloydFest 7 on assignment for Jambase.com, I knew it would be a departure from the regular concert photography routine. But nothing could have prepared me for the sheer variety of stuff that arises when a diverse group of people all comes together for one weekend of music, art, and camping. It was a photographer's dream. Most of the photographers I saw there spent all their time up at the stage, but by doing that they failed to capture the environment that differentiates a festival from a run-of-the-mill concert. Do you ever fall into the trap of focusing on the immediate and obvious while neglecting some potentially significant peripheral details?

My tripod fell over during this long-exposure shot of people with glowsticks. Mistakes often create something great!

David Grisman talking to a young mandolin player. What a great guy; he signed the kid's shirt and let him play his mandolin!
I love how everyone experiencing the same event has a unique reaction.
