July 9, 2011Genre-bending DJ Lorin “Bassnectar” Ashton was one of more than 60 artists performing at the 10th anniversary of the Disco Biscuits Camp Bisco music festival, which takes place each summer in upstate New York. “Lorin is a friend of mine, and he asked me to take what he calls the ‘family photo,'' which he does at the end of his sets,” explains photographer Dave Vann. “He and his enthusiastic fans pose for a shot with the house lights up; it''s quite a thrill (and a bit of pressure) having 20,000 people pose for a picture!” Judging by the sea smiles, the thrill was shared by all. . . .
