Light of Day Continues to Shine

The Light of Day Winterfest took place in January 2024. APVs was transitioning to this new web host, and I’m not sure if people saw the highlights I had the opportunity to document. Needless to say, it was quite an event.

AI Says:
”The Light of Day Festival is an annual music festival held primarily in Asbury Park, New Jersey, with the aim of raising funds and awareness for Parkinson's disease and other neurological disorders. The festival began in 2000 and has grown over the years to include various cities and international locations.

The primary mission of the festival is to raise money for research into Parkinson's disease and related conditions, as well as to provide support for those affected by these diseases. It honors Bob Benjamin, a music industry veteran diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, who inspired the creation of the festival. Beyond fundraising, the festival serves to bring the community together and raise awareness about Parkinson's disease. It provides a platform for those affected by the disease to share their stories and experiences, fostering a sense of solidarity and support.

The Light of Day Festival is an excellent example of how music and community efforts can combine to support important causes and make a meaningful impact in the fight against debilitating diseases.”

Born from an existential argument between Modernists and Postmodernists, I have found my home with the post-punks and those who love a good slice of pizza. I live in a world of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction and the ever-elusive Decisive Moment. Punctum and Studium aside, I like to take photographs of people and things to see how they look photographed. While I miss both CBGBs and a cool place to bowl in Asbury Park, Punk is still whatever we made it to be. The Future is Unwritten, and I owe it all to Mr. Bradley and Mr. Martin. Let Us Now Praise Famous Men (and Women) and ask the Little Prince for his thoughts. Sometimes, I'm On the Road, but if it weren’t for the honor of the thing, I’d just as well walk. My loving wife supports this albatross of an obsession, and my kids put up with me well. BA, MFA, M.Ed., BCEA, Nikon, FUJI, Tri-X.
