Event Photography

I love capturing all the various moods and elements of an event. Faces in a crowd can tell an intricate story. Here are some recent events I've photographed.

Mushroom Festival. Every fall, Mount Pisgah Arboretum puts on a one-day festival devoted to fungi. Booths, exhibits, live music, food, hay rides, and a creative scarecrow contest, all in a country setting.

Scandinavian Festival. A four-day festival in Junction City celebrates the heritage of many of its citizens. There are craft and food booths, wandering Vikings, and hours of Scandinavian folk dancing.

Faerieworlds 2014. A three-day festival at Mount Pisgah celebrates fairytales and folklore with music, art, and lots of wild costumes and activies.

"Thriller" Flash Mob. All around the world, flash mobs performed Michael Jackson's "Thriller" dance at precisely the same moment, and raised money for local charities while they were at it.
