2012 was an amazing year full of travel and great events. Best of all was when these two things could combine, and luckily several of those moments were recognized in my various editorial contributions’ “Best of 2012” photo roundups.
First off, thanks to Paste Magazine for allowing me to photograph 2012’s Outside Lands music festival in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park this past summer. It was an amazing lineup with the likes of Metallica, Neil Young, Skrillex, and Stevie Wonder performing, and my shot of the latter made Paste’s “10 Best Music Festival Moments of 2012.”
Secondly, thanks to Verbicide Magazine for their mention of several of my photos in their “Best of 2012” roundup including shots of Die Antwoord and Steve Aoki.
