Bluesfest 2008: July 3-13, 2008

I went to the 2008 edition of Bluesfest with a new camera in hand, going the digital SLR route for the first time. The result is my most oversized batch of photos yet, covering the first ten days of the eleven-day festival.

Bluesfest was excellent again. For my thoughts on the shows, you can read here.
