I have attended a lot of the instances of Ultra Music Festival in Miami, FL. My first in 2005 when I was just 18 years old:<\/p>\n

\"Ultra<\/a><\/p>\n

I took 12 years off from attending for various reasons. Ben and I last attended in 2012 so it\u2019s been 12 years since I\u2019ve attended. Prices continued to increase and then a pandemic happened which put 2 years on hold and when Ultra resumed in 2023, Ben and I bought tickets for 1 year out and last week, we met up in South Carolina and carpooled down to Miami for our first EDM festival in 12 years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We had such a great time that we each purchased tickets for next year as well. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ll attend this festival beyond 2025 though. That\u2019s the 25th anniversary of Ultra Music Festival and the 20th anniversary of my first time attending. I\u2019ll have attended roughly 7 or 8 out of 25 years and that\u2019s pretty good. Maybe I\u2019ll go again in 10 years when I turn 50. That\u2019ll be something :)\u00a0<\/p>\n

126 photos (of 1150 taken) captured on my Leica Q2 are on Flickr<\/a> and my favorites are below:<\/p>\n
