The 2009 Pillow Fight at Dupont Circle in Washington, DC; the second of two such events that day (the other occurred earlier on the National Mall). We arrived at 15:00 on the dot -- the time for the start of the pillowfight. We staked out a spot along the periphery of the area and watched the mass of people mill about. It would be obvious to any frequent visitor to Dupont Circle that something was amiss... a lot of people and a lot of pillows plainly visible.
Several minutes late, the mêlée began and once again: everyone just kind of jumbled into one cluster. My friend Lindsey and I tried tried to lure some people out of the crowd -- with limited success. It would have been great if we could've gotten the pillowfight to be all about the circle rather than one compact mob.
I dove through the middle a couple times as photographers hounded the benches and fountain steps. Bystanders watched on curiously, this time with a bit of a better view than at the Mall. During the first round, photographers circled the pillowfight such that passersby would be unlikely to figure out what, exactly, was going on.
Now, bystanders in the grassy area generally had a clear view past the bushes toward the crowd. Additionally, people whom had occupied the benches prior to our arrival were afforded front row seats to the mayhem. The greater range of high positions for photographers also helped to thin their wall a bit.
After diving through the middle a few times, I pulled Lindsey to the other side of the fountain and we dueled a bit. Except with our bodies in the mid 20's, we just couldn't keep up with those young whippersnappers elsewhere... we wore ourselves out pretty quickly and retired to a quiet existence upon the fountain steps.
After the main pillowfight, pillowfight-oriented games continued around us as Peyton got up to photograph the action up close. These games afforded photographers far greater opportunties, as instead of a jumbled hodge-podge of people; now you could capture the action of individual chases and battles.
It was about an hour and a half later when the crowds started to really thin out, though there were some dedicate folk still duking it out even when we made our way back toward the cherry blossoms downtown.
I happened to get the most and the best photos of Periphery out of all other bands I shot that day, these photos deserve their own album. Sadly, their bassist, Nolly, did not make it to this show, he was still trapped in the UK. Periphery on the Summer Slaughter tour play at the house of blues in Hollywood on July 20th.

A courtyard towards the perimeter of the Ta Phrom temple / monastery comes alive with colour as the early morning sunlight radiates from the sand coloured floors.
The club was incredibly dark so I couldn't get many good photos and the crowd was crazy, but that didn't stop me from enjoying the technical prowess of Periphery. Here Misha Mansoor shows his chops.
El club era increíblemente oscuro y los fanáticos del grupo estaban loquísimos de modo que no pude lograr buenas fotos, pero todavía disfruté de la destreza técnica de Periphery. Aquí, MIsha Mansoor demuestra su habilidad tremenda.
