Soundproof: Warped Tour '09 - Vancouver

For our first Soundproof Magazine assignment ever, courtesy of Ms. Carmen Cheung, Jon and I were sent out to shoot Warped Tour at Thunderbird Stadium.

Highlight of the day was seeing Shad again, followed closely by alexisonfire. I haven't shot an aof show since the last time I was at the SCENE festival in St. Catharines...which may be up to 5 years ago! Oh reliving my youth.

Now that I know what photos they're using I can post a few more of my own...but for now:

Here's the link to the slideshow!

Shad!

I finally got to see Shad play live...and it was pretty awesome.
One day I will leave my camera at home (not likely) and just enjoy the concert etc... haha.

Here is the link to the photos and a few of the best:

Hey Ocean!...I love you!

Arrived Safe and sound in Toronto... I flew in for Jon's/everyone's graduation, which after so many bumps in the road, went incredibly smooth and I got tons of good photos AND Jon got his degree...see:

Anyways... after a fun night out with all the image arts kids:

...Jon flew back to Vancouver and I've been crashing with the wonderful Sas, Zach and Dawn respectively! On Wednesday the 11th Dawn and I moseyed down to the Rivoli to see Hey Ocean! and their CD release show. A wonderful surprise to me included Jon Middleton opening, who I was introduced to (musically) at the Sitka store in Victoria on a walk with Jon.
I got some great photos, including some when Shad went on stage (and i FINALLY met him after so much talk of how wonderful he is)...check them out here:
