Dennis Garrels

Dennis Garrels is a photographer who covered Farm Aid for the group United Press International (UPI). Garrels had grown up in the area and knew it well. He was in attendance for almost every act on the roster for the event. As part of his job he was required to ship his photos off to New York in order to have them developed. 

These photographs were a small handful that he was able to develop for himself prior to the deadline for his job. According to Garrels there were other photographers on site in the Memorial Stadium dark room developing processing film due to the volume of photographs being taken.
