Thursday, December 24th - 9 in ’09: Pitchfork Music Festival – Music
To wrap up the year, I wanted to look through my photos and compile a few lists of the things I enjoy shooting. I will be posting the top 9 photos across 9 categories to close out 2009. These 9 categories will be: Film, Sports, Travel, Music @ Pitchfork, Portraits, Cityscapes, Fans @ Pitchfork, Life and Live Music.
Next year, I hope I can have a more elaborate festival photo list. Shooting without being affiliated with a media outlet is difficult, but it allows me to see the bands I want. For this reason, I shot where I could, and I definitely spent a lot of time at the local Chicago street festivals (some of which will be shown in my broader Live Music list next week). Pitchfork Music Festival was the only major fest where I obtained a true photo pass. I missed out on Lollapalooza, but I’m holding out hope I can cover the festival for someone in 2010.
In no particular order, here are my top 9 Music photos from this year’s Pitchfork Music Festival:
9. Cymbals Eat Guitars
8. The Mae Shi
7. Frightened Rabbit
6. The Walkmen
5. Pharoahe Monch
4. Yeasayer
3. The National
2. Blitzen Trapper
1. Plants & Animals
