Summer Music Festivals

Wow. It has been too long since I updated my blog.

It’s been on my ‘to do’ list for quite a while now. But it just keeps getting pushed back. Anyway, I though I’d display some of my work from this summer.

I was lucky enough to cover the Calgary Folk Music Festival and Virgin Fest ‘09 for FFWD Weekly. On with the music festival photos:

As long as there is the Calgary Folk Fest, there will be awesome carefree dancing. And hula hoops too.
