Here are photos from 2024<\/a> and 2025<\/a> also shot on my Leica Q2 Ghost. This is my 3rd year in a row attending Ultra Music Festival in Miami Florida and my 10th year total since my first time in 2004. 10 years of Ultra and I\u2019ll be 40 this year with the first time being when I was 17 years old. Back then, Ultra was 16 and up and then they moved to 18 and up to attend which I fully agree with from a liability perspective.<\/p>\n

This year was also special for me because I took a direct approach to photography that involved people. Stages, lights, lasers and landscapes get boring so I was more direct about asking people for their photo so much that I captured dozens of people in costume or dancing and at least 10 people got my email address and have since received their pictures from me which is great. I got over the fear of just talking to people and taking their photo. It made my time more enjoyable and I have some lovely photos.<\/p>\n

Ben and I went for the 4th or 5th time together. It was great to hang out with him after not seeing each other in a year since we were last in Miami together. Maybe he\u2019ll come up to NH this summer when the house is done to hang out.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Using the Leica Q2, I show 2,100 photos over 3 days hand held with no additional filters or gizmos like supplemental light or reflectors. I ended up keeping 322 photos which you can find on this Flickr Album – Ultra Music Festival 2026 – Miami<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sharing a few of my favorites here for you:<\/p>\n
