Description
Dave Faber, front-man of Juno nominated Canadian band 'Faber Drive' reaches for the stars, Feb 7th, 2009 during an outdoor, nighttime festival dubbed "Winter Fest" to support local music and community, in preparation for next years Olympic games, which will be held in Vancouver. (Scott Alexander)I had the extreeeeeeeme pleasure of shooting a kind of impromptu concert tonight.. I didnt have any media credentials for this show, but since I know what I am doing, I was able to access the pit for the whole show without a problem..
Some photogs were crushed in the crowd, and shot the evil eye at me a few times
Extra special thanks to Joel, who helped me access the pit.
Faber drive opened up for Thornley (ian) aka Big Wreck.
... yes, THAT SONG..
I shot without my 70-200 today

ooooo, i wish i could get that far up nooooorth for the Olympics D: Vancouver is near washington, yeah? I need to see the Red Wood Forests some time in my life. Alas, that kind of trip is way to expensive for a little college girl ~dies~
Awesome shot =3 just this friday, Winter JAM came to Little Rock, but I didn't know any bands this year, so there was enough motivation to go XD Its like, the ultimate Christian music extravaganza, Skillet was there last year, and they were EPIIIIIIIIIIIC. -gets off of soapbox-

Oh, hahaha! That's pretty hilarious. I've actually never seen a picture of them. My friend just told me about them back when I still lived in Vancouver. I remember their songs were on the radio 24/7.
