Woodstock ’94
30th Anniversary Celebration

I missed the original Woodstock music festival, so I was very excited to have the opportunity to go to Woodstock ’94 and document the event. I arrived early on Sunday, the festival’s last day, and stayed until the end. The day before, rain had turned Winston Farm into a sea of mud and because of that service vehicles could not enter the site, causing the garbage to overflow. I found discarded food containers, plastic bottles, and Woodstock pizza boxes scattered everywhere. But the amazing thing was no one seemed to mind and they appeared to embrace it.

I walked for hours, with my shoes encrusted in mud, taking pictures with my camera, meeting people, and listening to the music. I realize now that I witnessed an event that cannot be replicated again here in the digital age. It was a long day and after shooting many rolls of film, I returned to my home in Kingston NY never bringing these photos to the light of day – until now.

The exhibition begins Aug 3 and ends Aug 31.
