An Intimate Glimpse Inside the Gathering of the Juggalos

May 29, 2012

Grilling out with a group of your friends. Cooling down with a swim in the lake. Sleeping in a tent under the stars. These all sound like traditional summertime activities, and yet Daniel Cronin‘s portraits of the Faygo-swilling, clown makeup-wearing subculture found at the annual Gathering of the Juggalos — a four-day music festival held in the middle of nowhere — are anything but G-rated, all-American fun. If you’re feeling brave, click through for some of our favorite (and occasionally NSFW) shots from his voyeuristic series, a long-term project which Cronin plans to release in book form next spring.
