I attended Seattle’s Bumbershoot festival all 3 days this year and it was a blast as always.  I took about 6,000 photos which I have narrowed down to a mere thousand or so for uploading to my photo archive.  I’ll put a few up here with the links the the full galleries if you want to see more.  These are photos of the general scene, I’ll follow it up over the next few days with a few live music and performance posts.  It has been quite a while since I last blogged and I’m happy to get this one posted.

Full general Bumbershoot gallery here, selections below.  And please scroll to the very bottom to share on your social networks!

Typical fun times in the fountain, it was very hot and sunny this year!

    Your photos always blow me away, Will! These really bring back the magic of Bumbershoot, and punctuate the more subtle moments. Love the shot thru the privacy mesh, and of course, the one with the red-headed boys…

      Thanks Lisa, and it was great seeing you there!

    Great photos. As a native of Seattle, it is sometimes difficult to see the magic of events like Bumbershoot, but you have managed to do that with this photo array!
