Wellesley photographer has a ball, claims Billboard prize

December 14, 2010 by Bob Brown 1 Comment

Wayne Coyne of Flaming Lips, by Rich Gastwirt

Wellesley photographer Richard Gastwirt for the 2nd year in a row has won the Fan’s Favorite award in Billboard Magazine’s Ultimate Music Moment photo contest. The winning picture, which beat out more than 2,500 other entries, is of Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne surfing the crowd in a giant hamster ball at the Nateva Festival in Maine this past summer (the festival founder, Frank Chandler,  lives in Newton).

Last year, Gastwirt won with a photo from a Metallica show.
