This weekend we asked Shane Danaher, Nick Jaina and photographer Bobby McHugh to catch some of the first annual Portland Folk Festival and report back here. We didn't try and ask them to see everything—that would have been silly. Instead, each of them attended at their own pace and wrote about the festival in their own way. First up is an essay from Jaina. Second, digestible observations from Danaher. Last but not least (and strewn throughout the piece), a slideshow from McHugh.
