Woodstock '94

I missed the original Woodstock music festival, so I was very excited to have the opportunity to go to Woodstock ’94 and document the event. I arrived early on Sunday, the festival’s last day, and stayed until the end. The day before, rain had turned Winston Farm into a sea of mud, and because of that, service vehicles could not enter the site, causing the garbage to overflow. I walked for hours with my shoes encrusted in mud, taking pictures with my camera, meeting people, and listening to the music. It was a long day, and after shooting many rolls of film, I returned to my home in Kingston, NY, never bringing these photos to the light of day – until now.  – Nancy Donskoj
