Photoblogging: Moogfest 2012
Wielding my Official Photo Pass™, I took a bunch of shots at Moogfest with my old-fashioned 35mm camera. The results were less than stellar, owing in part to the fact that you can’t easily get super-fast ISO1600 film liked I used back in the olden days. Anyway, that’s my excuse. Here are some photo highlights; my written summary of the festival will appear soon.

A very sexy Moog Voyager. I spent a lot of time fiddling with it.
Magnetic Fields, seated and destined mostly to remain thus.
