The Magic Hour

This is it—that time right before sunset, when the sun is low in the sky and the light is golden. It’s during this time that the hardcore rave faithful—patron saints of all opening DJs—begin arriving at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. They have traveled from all over the world to attend EDC, and now they’re here, their favorite tunes blasting as they pile out of their cars. They stretch, they hug, they high-five. Many are putting the finishing touches on their outfits. The anticipation and excitement are palpable. For me, this is the perfect time and place to capture a moment. The lighting is beautiful, and so are the people. Magic hour, indeed.
