The end of August means that my former hometown takes out the party tents and stages to celebrate an end of summer tradition, Saint-Lambert en Fête. This is the 42nd anniversary of what used to be known as Saint-Lambert Days and it has grown quite a bit since my younger days. Though some of the things of my youth have been replaced, one of the things that have replaced them are a series of evening concerts which I manage to make my way to. With my trusty camera in hand, I get to play the role of concert photographer for a few days which gives me great joy, though one local behind me wasn't as full of joy as I was. Why people seem to think it's 
a
good idea to decide to sit on a chair behind someone who is standing is a
good idea is something that continues to escape me. Jon Macaulay was the first person to take the stage. He plays a kind of Country/Rock hybrid. The best comparison that I could think of would be one given by my old friend Joey, who stopped by to say hello while I was shooting. He said that the band sounded a little bit like Blue Rodeo. That is high praise indeed for the singer-songwriter who only began his career a few years ago out of Sherbrooke in the Eastern Townships. The first photograph was taken at f/3.2, 1/800sec, ISO 3200 at 135mm and the second photograph was taken at f/3.2, 1/250sec, ISO 800 at 200mm. Here are several more photographs that I took during his performance.

I was hoping to get some other photographs from a different vantage point during the show, but I needed to keep the spot where I was shooting from because the site began to rapidly fill up during Jon Macaulay's set and there was still another performer to go before the night would come to an end. Stay tuned, more concert footage will be appearing in the coming days.
