Whew. That was close. Last time we heard from Action Rock Photographer Walter Novak, he was frolicking the shores of Lake Erie like some kind of Frisbee-throwing hippie. We thought he’d gone soft. What’s next? we trembled. He starts eating green stuff?
But alas, Mr. Novak, returning to his Rock and Roll roots, has pleasured us with the artistic equivalent of a whiskey bottle to the knee cap: an all-access, afternoon-eating slideshow from last week’s Scene Music Festival. And trust me: Novak worked his ass off for these shots. If you were at the fest, he was the sweaty dude hip-checking you out of the way at every show – from Ass Shaker Extraordinaire Mick Boogie to the festival-stealing Roger Hoover and the Whiskeyhounds. Check out Novak’s heaping bounty of photos in the latest Action Rock Slideshow. – Joe P. Tone
