It is often said that when you find something you truly enjoy, it never gets seen as being work. I think I can agree with that statement. Last year on June 1st, I had one of my busiest days, but it didn't feel like work at all. My day began with a family photo-shoot for a friend around 1:00PM. After spending some time there, I rushed home, quickly edited the photos and was then off to Greenfield Park to shoot the concerts of their annual South Shore Montreal Ribfest. First on the stage was Travis Cormier, a recent finalist on the popular television show La Voix. Up next was local jazz legend Dawn Tyler Watson, who was performing with a group of local musicians known as Roots. After that, My Lovely Assistant and I rushed over 
to Saint-Lambert to photograph the headlining act of the Festival Classica, the Classica Rocks performance. Last year, under the guidance of Simon Fournier, the Festival Classica Orchestra performed a selection of popular disco and R&B songs with Saturday Night Fever as the theme. Joining them up on stage for the musical party was vocalist Élizabeth Blouin-Brathwaite. It was a terrific evening of music and fun. Something that we could use a little bit of this year. Since neither of those events will be happening this year, here are a couple of new photographs from both shows. The first photograph was taken at f/2.8, 1/500sec, ISO 1600 at 70mm and the second photograph was taken at f/2.8, 1/160sec, ISO 3200 at 70mm. Here are a couple more photographs from the evening.
