We sent our intrepid photojournalist, Emily Quirk, down to Austin last month for this year’s Psych Fest, which is now called Levitation. We had to pull her teeth to convince her to take on this assignment. We got a monkey wrench and started pulling out one tooth at a time, starting with her lower molars, until she agreed to go and take some photos of the festival. This is how it looked through her lens.
