Ep. 27 | ”Making History Through a Lens”

My Warped Life

Thousands of Bands, Roadies, Bus Drivers, even Journalists, hit their big break while smoldering in the sun in a random parking lot on Warped Tour. It was the perfect place for developing talent in people who had trouble finding a place for themselves in the “real world.” This week, Kevin interviews 3 journalists who all started on the Warped Tour. These young people were seeking a way to escape home and express their creative expression. They joined the circus of the Warped Tour in one way or another and found a home in the people and the punk rock scene. After putting in the hard work and making sure to meet everyone on the tour, each one grew to achieve success in the ways they hoped. Ashley shoots some of today's biggest artists, Lisa has been in Rolling Stone and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and Fish has his own radio show.

Kevin wraps up with one of his oldest friends, photographer and skater, Pep Williams. After shooting a famous photo of his good friend and professional skater, Jay Adams, titled, “The Perfect Storm” (now worth over $1 million), Pep realized the impact he could have with his art and created a series on prison tattoos, called “Behind Bars” to reform the perspective that most people have on inmates and present them as what they are, humans.
