I think this is my last Warped Tour. Too many stages, people, and too much heat. This was my 3rd Warped Tour, and the second one to cover. And I barely scratched the surface. This year, I decided to work as hard as I could to see what would happen, and I ended up covering 13 bands in 9 hours. I WISH I could have covered more bands, but the schedule overlap makes it hard to see all the acts you want to see. You end up weighing which bands would do well in a photo gallery, mixed in with who you really WANT to see. I think I got a good mix.

Going to Warped Tour is incredibly exhausting. It’s like training for a 5k marathon. I drank at least 3 liters of water, chowed on Clif bars all day and STILL felt depleted by the time I got home.

Here’s a quick preview of some of the acts I caught:

The Devil Wears Prada – taken with a Sigma 8mm

Larry And His Flask – probably one of the better acts that I caught this year. Shot taken with a Tokina 11-16mm.

Paramore – Hayley Williams is so photogenic. I loved this shot, probably because it’s little abstract. Shot taken with a Canon 17-55mm.
