This past year I gave myself a photo project to make the poem “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost come to life.

This is it, the end of summer. How do I know this? Growing up in Bethlehem, PA there is a weeklong festival that takes over the main street and the surrounding streets with food, drinks, out-of-towners, and music. I am speaking of Musikfest. A festival that surprisingly is the nation’s biggest free music festival. I… Read More Fright Barker & Sons – Musikfest – Bethlehem, PA – 8/10/13
