The American Folk Festival runs through Sunday. You should go if you’re within an hour (or more!) of Bangor.

I had a chance to photograph Kevin Bennett, Gabor Degre, and Bridget Brown, my three favorite, extremely talented Bangor Daily News photojournalists, joking around before the parade at the American Folk Festival tonight. Did I do it? No, of course not. I’m too frickin’ shy to ask. That has to stop… now.

I did, however, manage to get quite a few photos of the festivities tonight; more will come tomorrow and Sunday. View tonight’s photos in the new 2007 American Folk Festival set of my Flickr account.
