Bonnaroo 2009

Bonnaroo 2009

Lineup is out. Who’s going? I was up in the air after last year, which I had to say was the worst in my 6 years for shooting. But hey, you can’t be perfect. I have always wanted the Boss to headline, great idea. Beastie Boys, oh ya. Snoop Dog, awesome. [...]


What would you do to be front row for Ben Folds?

What would you do to be front row for Ben Folds?

This was my question to the girl in the center of this photo. “Get peed on!” was her answer. That’s right, the fan on the left of her is relieving himself into a water bottle while waiting for Ben Folds to go on stage on Saturday afternoon.

I’m just glad he found some relief [...]


Roo Coverage from a late night

Roo Coverage from a late night

Rudeness, over-ego, disrespect, call it what you want, but that’s the feeling of the late night that lasted until sunrise on Saturday. I wanted to check out Kanye West, something entirely different for the Bonnaroo crowd. He was first to go on around 8:00, at the same time jack Johnson was to go [...]


Bonnaroo 2008, so far, hot

Bonnaroo 2008, so far, hot

You you know this is nothing new. It’s hot every year. But I do have wireless at the campsite, which just rules. I’ll prob blog a bit more with it here. There was the normal lines of cars waiting to get in, and there was already a parade, kind lame though, about [...]


Is anyone going to Bonnaroo this year?

Is anyone going to Bonnaroo this year?

So tomorrow I leave to my 6th year of Bonnaroo. Fully shooting and being directly paid from old employer, AOL. Coverage will be mostly on Spinner.com but also on AOL Music. All this means I’m being paid more because I can also resell my images as stock as well as being paid [...]


Clearing Out the Pit

Clearing Out the Pit

So I applied for press passes for Bonnaroo 2008 today. For the first time on part of the application it was stated:
“Only photographers with SLR, interchangeable lens cameras will be allowed into the photo pits. There will be no ‘point and shoot’ cameras permitted.”
I have to say THANK YOU. The pits over [...]


freaking Chris Rock

freaking Chris Rock

So, yesterday Bonnaroo announced that Chris Rock will be performing in the hot sun in June this year. Wow, not only that, he’s also going to be on the main stage, possibly the largest venue for a comedian ever. This adds to the already great comedy line up of David Cross, Janeane Garofalo, Zach [...]


Bonnaroo 2008 Lineup Annouced

Bonnaroo 2008 Lineup Annouced

Interesting line up. Not exactly was it’s been in the past, but great names in the list. I wasn’t sure how I felt about Metallica, great musicians, and they have alienated much of this type of audience with the backlash against music sharing. The video from Lars (at the bottom of this [...]

Flaming Lips at Bonnaroo 2003

So I’ve started re-editing my 5 years of photos from Bonnaroo. In 2003 I borrowed work’s digital camera, which it’s longest lens was a 70mm, really not great for some shows. But it actually worked fairly well for the most part. My second camera was my old Pentax film [...]

John Paul Jones, bassist of Led Zeppelin playing at Bonnaroo 2007 as part of The Super Jam
If you haven’t heard, Bonnaroo will be June 12 – 15, 2008. More exciting? It seems Led Zeppelin and Metallica will be there as well. A different music festival then we have seen in the past [...]


All my Bonnaroo Photos

All my Bonnaroo Photos

Ok, this is the 5th year I’ve shot Bonnaroo. I threw together all of my photos from this year into one movie. This is everything unedited from 4 days of shooting. It includes out of focus, over/under exposed and bad shots as well as the good ones. It’s fun though, I think.

Bonnaroo ‘07 Through My [...]


The National

The National

Ok, with all the hype around The National these days, I have to put up a video of theirs. I shot them at Bonnaroo, though I need to add in a few more images to the gallery. Video is pretty cool, check it out.


Cold War Kids video!

Cold War Kids video!

I shot this at the press-only performance during Bonnaroo. Enjoy and more to come soon.

Lily Allen is brilliant

Lily Allen is brilliant

Ok, I really didn’t know much about her until about a week or two before Bonnaroo. But, if you haven’t heard of Lily Allen, you will. She put on a hell of a show at Bonnaroo (click for my photos) and she seems to keep being compared to Amy Winehouse as the rising [...]


Bonnaroovians

Bonnaroovians

OK, I heard this term while at Bonnaroo. Basically people who have been to Bonnaroo. Kinda funny and odd, yet fitting. This year I spent more time this year shooting the crowd then I have in the past, trying to get a sense of the atmosphere of the festival and not just [...]


Infinity!

Infinity!

So there are different levels of passes for Bonnaroo. Everyone has something, including the general concertgoer. You either have a wristband or two or a lanyard. Wristbands are good, red gets you into the concert grounds, VIP, I think was blue, you get special camping, food, parking, though you pay for it. [...]


Flaming Lips

Flaming Lips

Wow, great show last night. Might have been the highlight of this year’s Bonnaroo. Incredible show, great production. If you have never seen the Lips live, you need to. More to follow.

Manu Chao, more photos here.
OK, I’m pretty much running ragged around here. 10 bands so far today and I haven’t hit the late night yet. You can check out Spinner for more of my photos and lots of great coverage. Taking all I can to keep up loading, captioning and sending them [...]


we’re here

we’re here

We all made it and it’s hot and hot. More later with photos.  Everything starts very soon with Lewis Black.  Bonnaroo also sold out today at 80,000 people.


On the way

On the way

Well, I’m leaving for Bonnaroo.  I’m officially, as of now suppling photos for Spinner, AOL Music and from Retna for resale.  I’m excited, video is going to be interesting and challenging. Look for photos soon.


Next week

Next week

Well, Bonnaroo is 5 days away.  Paul and I will be posting directly from the press tent during the show.  Might not have too much before then because of travel.  Drive 8 hours to Ohio on Sat.  Drive 7 hours to Manchester, TN from Columbus on Wed. night, spend the night on the road or [...]
