Holy moly. This was the second time that I was able to go photograph the famous Newport Folk Festival. Sometimes I have to pinch myself to make sure I’m not dreaming when I get these opportunities.
Pros: Being among lots of incredible photographers, the awesome media tent (thanks for all of those diet cokes!), being introduced to the super-group “Middle Brother”, and THE MUSIC. My goodness, there was incredible music.
Cons: Not being permitted to shoot Ryan Adams & The Infamous Stringdusters (doesn’t he know that I’m his #1 fan on the planet?!), the crazy heat.
Enough of my rambling, here are some of my favorite photos from 3 days of sweat, dust, and rocking out.
