WQHS Goes to Made in America: Day 1
For the second year in a row, I had the honor of covering the Made in America Festival for WQHS. It’s my fourth year at the festival overall, making it an important part of my fall at Penn. The lineup this year made me particularly excited, and I think overall is the best that it’s […]
Made in America: Day 2
This is part two of my coverage of Made in America. This article discusses Sunday, Day 2. JPEGMAFIA I started the day by heading back to the Skate Stage to catch JPEGMAFIA’s set. I knew some of his music, so I thought I knew what I was getting myself into. I was very, very wrong. He […]
Made in America: Day 1
This year was my third year attending Made in America, but my first year going as a photographer. It was also the largest gig I’ve ever shot. The energy of a festival crowd is very different than that of a concert, where people have paid to see a specific artist. At a festival, people might […]

Air + Style Festival in Innsbruck, Austria
A crowd of thousands roars as the last snowboarder lands a jump perfectly at the bottom of the 16-story high ramp. He’s the last competitor of this round, so the crowd shuffles over to the Main Stage, a huge outdoor festival stage framed by the snowy mountain peaks of the Alps. The lights come alive, […]
