Ben Bruce’s Wedding, Slam Dunk Festival, All Time Low Adventures, Green Day, Tonight Alive

5/22/2013 – San Diego, CA => Asheville, NC – Travel Day

This was the start of a good few months being away from home. I basically left San Diego, shot a wedding on the East coast, and then flew to Europe for Slam Dunk Festival which was for almost two months. A few hours after getting to Europe I had most of my gear stolen so that was a little bump in the road. But other than that I had a blast. I’ll have a few more blogs up from this trip as well, this is just to get it started!

I can’t get access to shows when I shoot big ones like this sometimes, but that never stops me from shooting. I took as many crowd panoramas as I could from up in the stands- it was a blast. I think 68k people in total. I probably got stopped about 15 times while doing this, but I did have the proper credentials to do it… I think.
