Two weeks from now I'll be back in this photo pit photographing some bands that completely shaped my youth and a lot of where I am now. If it weren't for bands like Saosin, UnderOath, New Found Glory, Bayside, and heaps more, I wouldn't be involved in this scene, probably wouldn't have met my wife at an Eisley show, and would probably still be taking some super cheesy photos of signs and stuff. But, instead, I did meet my wife at The Plano Center, I have some very rad friends that I've had great experiences with, and I get to do cool shit like photograph music festivals every now and again. And, as excited as I am to see these bands, I'm just as excited to see new ones and hear new music. Sometimes it gets tough to discover new bands, but I do think fests like So What?! and Warped really open the door to hear stuff that you otherwise wouldn't.
