We come together, to be ourselves, we come to rage, to play, to mosh, to lift each other up. Riot Fest is family. Riot Fest is home.

Last night was a celebration, a joyful sound, a swirling of God, of Mother, and us. A moan of collective grief, a prayer for the homeward traveler, a dance so light I am lifted today.

I was held, embraced, prayed for, given room to grieve, cherished, healed, and returned to purpose. Clarified; may I carry my love for the Lord, not just in my heart, but in my doing, in the breath of my song, in every utterance, every day, and may that doing replenish me. May I carry this love for the women in my life, for Mother Earth, in my deeds and in my actions today. May we grant ourselves Mercy, grant each other mercy, may Mercy flow in the gift of this album by these tremendously talented musicians.
A circle of trust, extending from stage, to us. Thank you for last night, for this signed copy of the album I listen to today, for a renewal of spirit and purpose I feel today.
Let these images I was able to capture, these stolen moments, be a testament to the talents God gave me, to the talents of these musicians, to their dedication to the craft, to our purpose here on earth.
‘The Mercy we Need’ is an album we need, and I would encourage anyone who can, to see this band live, for in their show there is catharsis, laughter, and a steady movement towards the divine.

Last Notes of Late Summer’s Song in Vacationland
Pt. 5 double exposures at Nonsuch River off Watson Mill Rd.

inspired by Nil Santana, I returned to some experimentation with double exposures. When I was first shooting on Pentax K1000, fully manual camera, I would double expose my shots, roll after roll, shooting whole rolls of landscapes, then mixing with portraits or other landscapes. It was wild, unpredictable, it was jazz, improvisation, and I loved it.   I gave up on this when cameras went digital, but Nil inspired me to embrace the new technology, to not get hung up on it being film, on the excitement of waiting to get the shots developed. I brought the mystery and the improvisational energy to the moment and the play in the woods, and found great joy in making these shots.

A two note interplay, one down, one up, one 24 one 70, one sky, one water, and so on, processed in a mix of vintage and infrared film nostalgia. taken in The Maine Woods by @stoptimelive

Pierce the Veil closing out Riot Fest 2026

I remember shooting @piercetheveil at their first Riot over a decade ago, what a night this was to see them close out the fest, electric.
