Picture Of the Week (2007/33)

Fresh music juice

I was privileged to be one of the photographers for the Faces Etnofestival in Billnäs a couple of weeks ago. Not that there would have been much behind the curtains to sneak in and to photograph but it seemed to work the way that people were not that suspicious when I was sailing among the crowds of people with my camera equipment. It's really not that easy to avoid people getting annoyed about you and keeping the camera equipment at a safe distance.

One is so easily fooled by the standard music, coming out of the "tube", that one is fooled to think that there isn't any alternatives available. Anyway it was great fun to see that there really is a lot of good music available, which is not following the standard format and aiming at your wallet straight through your ears. Fresh music juice can be discovered and enjoyed on a broad basis. It's not just fresh music, it's also a fresh idea of taking care of the people inside the festival area. We all need some food and water on a regular basis and I must say that I dislike the trend today at events to charge for the water horrendous prices because there isn't any other way to get it than buying it.

I have a small gallery of snapshots from the Faces festival, if you want to peek in. It's not ready yet and it's still growing on a regular basis.
