Did you catch the giant walking camera roaming around during Saturday night at Highball? An over-sized cardboard box masquerading as a fully functional Nikon camera?
After years of documenting Highball with a camera in hand it seemed only fitting to get to enjoy Highball by actually becoming a camera. And while it felt a little odd to become the target of other peoples cameras as I posed for countless photos throughout the night, I got to experience something different, and I think that’s really half the fun of Highball.
While shooting completely blind isn’t my normal approach, I was still able to capture the fun and excitement of what makes Highball one of the best nights of the year.
