Fall 2012

So I knew this CounterPoint thing had to be a big deal when I was contacted about a month out from the festival to meet at the grounds and begin shooting pictures of the beautiful rolling fields and country side for promotional purposes. The festival was to be held on the incredible Bouckaert Farms property in Fairburn, GA just about 20 miles south of Atlanta.  All it took was catching one sunset out on the property to know this was going to be a serious next level event!  Combine the great location with a huge line up with names like Bassnectar, Pretty Lights, Avicii, Skrillex, Big Gigantic, etc and you really can't go wrong.  On top of all that CounterPoint did an amazing job of incorporating actual live art into the festival experience by deploring well known street and design artists all over the grounds that constructed large murals over the three day festival. Below are just a few pictures from an absolutely historic first year at what is sure to be a very big deal for many many years to come!

Summer 2012

Let me first start out by saying it was a complete honor to be asked by New Belgium Brewery to photograph Atlanta's first annual "Tour de Fat!"  For those who don't know, Tour de Fat is a constumed bike parade (3 mile ride around the city) then ends back at the same park it started but with tons of stages, vendors, bands, tent shows and of course New Belgium beer! One of the coolest things they do is called "trade in your car for a bike" where one lucky indiviual is selected to trade in their old car, keys and title for a brand new top of the line bicycle from New Belgium!  This year's event was a complete success minus the 106 degree temps outside! Despite the hot weather hundreds of ATLiens made it out to the event and good times were had by all! Here's a few shots from a summer day that will not be forgotten anytime soon. Can't wait to do it again next year! (A special thanks to Chip Newell)

Perfectly nestled inside the breath taking lands of North Plains, Oregon was STS9, back at it again, hosting their very own music festival, Re:Generation.  This year Re:Generation took place from June 23rd to the 26th (2011).  The last Re:Gen took place in 2007 on the east coast at a venue of equal beauty called Deerfields located right outside Asheville, NC.  Ever since that 2007 Re:Gen I've held that weekend to such high regards as calling it my best musical experience.  So returning to something so special to me, 4 years later, at a new venue that holds the same heaven-on-earth reputation, was an easy decision.
