Acerca del libro
The photographs are not moments in music that we typically see in the journalism of the music festival scene, they are candid shots of Festival life, the experience we all sign up for. There are photographs of people and still life in somewhat documentary style, often with abstract or juxtaposed points of view.
Why do we like music festivals? These photographs attempt to answer why, it’s the atmosphere, it’s the hedonism, it’s the laughs, it’s the music, it’s the sense of community, it’s the mud, its those fuzzy memories, the distant stage, it’s the camping, it’s the freedom to be whoever you want for a few crazy days.
The Festival is bigger than any of the bands, and it’s the crowd that makes the festival.

Acerca del creador
I (Francis Minien) am a British artist and photographer based in New York City. An Associate of Britain’s Royal Photographic Society (ARPS), I hold an MA in Photography (2005) and a BA in History and Media Studies (1999), both from De Montfort University in the UK. And it is primarily these disciplines that inform my artistic practice today. Although I have traveled extensively and produce much of my photography while on the road, I would argue that my approach has very little in common with the travel photography genre. Unconcerned with the specifics of place - indeed I obstinately refuse to disclose locations - I operate sine loco, in the hope that this might free my photographs from the subjugation of culturally-specific readings. My work is held in numerous private and corporate collections and I have published and exhibited widely, resulting in several prestigious awards.
