I went to the Coachella Music and Arts Festival for the first time this year. The only thing I have to compare this to in terms of a 3 day festival is Glastonbury, and this was basically Glasto in the desert and shuttles. And instead of staying in a tent with bad weather like I did for Glastonbury, I was able to stay in a hotel with air con and take a shuttle to the festival everyday. The heat condition on weekend 2 this year was pretty unbelievable. I don’t think I’d ever experience that amount of heat to listen to music but it was a ton of fun. There were times during the day where the heat was so blistering I couldn’t even focus anymore. I didn’t shoot Coachella with my slr but I brought my point and shoot along for the experience. The highlight of the festival this year was definitely Radiohead. They played a 2 hour set and it blew my mind.
Here are some of my photos from the weekend (click more to view). Enjoy
On the way home from Coachella, Jen and I spotted some Dino’s and had to stop to say hello!
