Ahhh... Where did it all start? Some would say in a long existing friendship creating a close bond, a musical spark, igniting the sounds inside us to light up, touching each other in the dim light of secrecy. The feeling is as old as time itself, we live and breath the sounds around us. Colfax is, and always will be in our hearts.
The second song we covered out of five at the Cabooze in Minneapolis, Mn. This is one of the most popular funk bands in the Twin Cities and i got to capture it. Check out Colfax music at http://www.myspace.com/colfaxmusic

This is something I shot with a guy who has a Glock 30 and explains quickly why its important to be safe while holding the gun. I set up a light and we shot it in a garage that had nice sound in it. I use a Canon T1i Rebel SLR to shoot it.
