If there are two things that put me at ease, it would have to be good friends and good music. Luckily for me, there was Lollapalooza 2008 to bring these two together this summer. I hopped onto a plane to join the (mostly) men that you will see in these photos, and with downtown Chicago as our backdrop we engaged in what most college-aged kids would refer to as nothing short of "a good time."
While Radiohead and Kanye West were shot to death full of digital frames, I instead opted for the road less traveled. I found my subjects in the friends I knew best. The greatest access given to a kid with a single film camera and a 50mm lens was from my comrads, not backstage with Perry Ferrel. So these photos I dedicate to those that made it possible, those that made it memorable, and those that gave me a pull out couch to sleep on for 7 nights (special thanks to the Bender family).
