First published on Collapse Board Some thoughts and photos from last year’s Splendour In The Grass. My greatest weakness/photographer crime is showing too many photos, so it’s funny that I only selected 18 from three days for this post originally, when I’ll usually show more than that from a single show and 4 – 5 […]

Day Three of Splendour and the battery in my mobile lasts long enough for a single tweet: Tent collapse. Slept in car. Need hat. Bad hair. Festival oversold. Florence carnage.

After some more extensive tent repairs (involving snapping off the broken one inch piece of tent pole and putting the tent back together properly, albeit with one pole an […]

Having photographed Splendour In The Grass in 2008 and 2009, I find myself in an interesting position for 2010.
