Friday night two of two at Desert Trip happened last night. I wasn’t there, but here are a few more shots from Desert Trip’s first Friday.

Roger Waters @ Desert Trip

I wouldn’t have gone to Desert Trip if Roger Waters hadn’t been on the bill. The thought of seeing him again is what interested me from the outset. I’ve seen him four times before, each time bigger and better than the last. I’ve been to hundreds of, if not over a thousand, shows in my lifetime, and those five shows are all in my Top 10.

The Desert Trip Photography Experience

The images found at The Desert Trip Photography Experience don’t appear to be available online. For instance, this one of Roger, taken by Michael Putland when Pink Floyd played at the 1975 Knebworth Festival in the UK, I hadn’t seen before and can’t find online.

I just got back from an unforgettable weekend down in the Palm Springs area of Southern California. The draw of course was Desert Trip, three nights featuring Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Neil Young, Paul McCartney, The Who, and Roger Waters. I’ll post photos from each over the next few weeks.

Although nothing can come close to describing the amazingness of the Roger Waters’ set–not photos, video, or words–you really had to be in the middle of it to fully appreciate what he orchestrated, here is a decent write up in LA Times.

The oldest building in Malmö, clocking in at nearly 700 years old, is Sankt Petri Kyrka. Some parts are “only” 600 years old.

I didn’t have my wide-angle lens with me at the time, and this place is far too large to fit into a single frame at 24mm on a crop sensor camera like my D500, so this is actually three photos merged together.
