Back from Pitchfork

I’m back from a weekend trip to Chicago, where I covered two days of the three-day 2007 Pitchfork Music Festival. I photographed the twenty bands on the main Aluminum and Connector stages and shot about 2,700 frames. Some highlight’s from the festival included Battles, Of Montreal, Jamie Lidell, and Junior Boys.

I’ll be posting a few images soon, as well as a summary of what worked and what didn’t work, with regard to gear, technique, and planning.
