One of Seattle’s favorite summer music festivals, the 2012 Capitol Hill Block Party, took place from July 20-22 featuring over 100 bands playing on 6 different stages throughout the Capitol Hill Seattle neighborhood. This year, I was honored to serve as one of the festival’s official photographers, contributing to an online concert photography pool for media usage as well as to Prefix Magazine.  Scroll through the music festival photography galleries below to catch my shots of headliners Neko Case, Major Lazer, Aesop Rock, and Grimes, as well as local favorites including The Lumineers, Kithkin, and the almighty Reignwolf.

For a recap and some thoughts about this year’s Capitol Hill Block Party as a whole, check out Seattle music writer Andrew Matson’s words in the Seattle Times.
