So the first time I shot Texas In July it was at a small venue with awful lighting a long time ago. I distinctly remember the bassist being completely mental on stage. So when Bamboozle came around, I was excited to shoot them again.

The second photo is a flailing Ben Witkowski after jumping from the stage, over the photopit (10 feet maybe?) and landing in the front row of the crowd. It was probably the least safe thing someone could possibly do, but sweet jesus it was awesome. Unfortunately I missed him flying through air, but the second photo is a shot at ‘first impact’ haha. I love the looks on people’s faces. Third photo is him climbing out of the crowd.
