Sasquatch 2015

The Sasquatch culture is hard to describe in words, and almost impossible to do justice with visuals. I had the opportunity to cover the festival this year. This was my fourth (and most likely last) year attending the festival. So, I tried to capture a different style than in years past. This edit, which contains a blend of personal work, is an attempt to show my own interpretation of the uncanny, indescribable, fantasy-land that is Sasquatch music festival. Enjoy!
