Shots from Bent Festival
Posted by Jeremy on May 6th, 2008
Well, the Bent Festival is over. It was an amazing event, I met a lot of awesome talented people, and took a metric ton of pictures - over 1700 in all. Here are some of my favorites, starting with my absolute fave!
Albino Ghost Monkey from Rice Lake, WI
Tim Kaiser from Duluth, MN plays his homemade instruments

There really are to many good pictures - it’s hard to choose. If you’re feeling brave, feel free to look at the over 750 shots at my Flickr set.
Really looking forward to next year! And thanks to Wired’s GeekDad for asking me to shoot it!

Greetings Mr. Pavleck. Well done, sir, everything looks fantastic.
I was wondering if you have any additional shots of my band Memory Selector? We played Saturday night, wearing the “space wizard” costumes. We could send a DVD and some stickers and buttons your way in exchange?
