Winfield 2016 • Flood Stage

photography by Ryan Hodgson-Rigsbee
opening text by Bob Hamrick
closing poem by Tom James

My first time at Winfield was in 2008 , when the river first flooded the campgrounds and forced everybody to the lake. In 2008 I was just passing through on the final days of the festival, and from then on I was hooked. Since then I have been lucky enough to meet and get to know so many people that make up the Winfield community. In 2016 we returned to the lake, and made the most of it. 

This series is dedicated to the people within the photos. In a year of so many challenges, we continue to stick together to create something bigger than any one person or group. This work wouldn't have been possible without the amazing support of the community. Thank you for believing in me.
