Dirty Feet.
OR some things I heart about music…
There’s nothing like coming home from a festival in the dry summer heat with your toes and Havianna’s intact, and the evidence that the acts you saw during the days processions made you stomp, jump, dance or relax. This certain picture is the result of Goffert Park in Nijmegen, and Rockin’ Park’s third edition of the festival. So a particular thanks to Pearl Jam and Ben Harper & the Relentless 7, for reminding me that dirty feet at the end of a hard day’s dance can be very rewarding.
Dirty feet make me hope and wonder; if only every day were a festival.
Some shots I took in Autumn.
