LUCAS MENGELKOCH’S TOP PHOTOS OF 2017
41 concerts, 122 (at least) bands I’ve seen this year being my first full year of photographing live shows. It’s still something that I’m glad I do and glad I still come away with photos that make me happy. The majority of my favorite pictures I took this year came from the last half of [&hell
