Outside Lands in San Fransisco is my favorite of the big festivals because it’s cooler (in temperature), and generally less annoying. I used to festival regularly when I could still handle intense crowds, dehydration, and some of the mellowest sets in an afternoon turning into a rave.
But anyways. Outside Lands. It’s chilly, there are trees, there’s great music and delicious food. You should go.
Here’s a playlist of mostly everyone who was there. Listen, cry, plan to go next year. Also if you play it and slowly scroll through this photo essay it’ll be just as good and you won’t have to leave your couch.

The first thing I did, and arguably the greatest thing I have ever done in my entire life, is eat this Donut Bacon Cheeseburger from a restaurant called Straw’s booth.
Yeah, I could have just gone home and it would have been worth the trip.

Final day feels
The worst part of festivals. Literally hell.
Elton John’s crowd was emotional
And for once, I wasn’t avoiding the crowd.
Goodnight, Outside Lands
See you there next year!
I noticed you were using the multiple exposure setting on Fuji. I don’t think make users know about it. I really dig how you did it here. Thank you for sharing these photos.
To be honest some of these were done in post because I needed a longer lens to shoot the artists – but it is an awesome feature!
Ah, I had to relook, it’s an X100 series you are shooting with, at quick glance I thought it was an X-Pro 1. Do you use a particular software or just Photoshop?
ughhhh i want to BE THERE. these pictures are so amazing! especially the shot of st. vincent. just want to be right there.
ok and the waffle picture.
let me tell you that waffle was incredible
Ryn Weaver is such a babe.
