Rocktober is upon us, though it is beginning to look like the month of October might once again be rock-less thanks to The Plague. With that in mind, this seems like an opportune time to release this set of photographs. Those with astute eyes may notice that they are watermarked for 2020. That's because in my ever optimistic mind, I had hoped that The Plague would be short lived and at some point last year things would have returned to normal. At that point, I was going to post these as a reminder of what I enjoyed doing very much, with the hope that I would be returning to photographing some shows very soon. Here we are, almost 20 months later and I'm still waiting to get back in to a show, though there was some good news yesterday that leads me to believe that the wait might not be that much longer. Or, maybe that's just
my ever optimistic mind reaching out for some hope. There photographs were taken in 2019 during a concert by Sylvain Cossette as part of the Saint-Lambert en Fête festivities. You can check out the other photographs I took of the concert by following this link, and photographs from the other shows at the festival can be seen in the August 2019 section of this blog. Though Sylvain Cossette was the headliner, it became obvious early on that his guitarist was equally entertaining. So, I would turn my camera in his direction rather often during the set and captured a pretty cool collection of photographs. His name is Matt Laurent and he was owning the stage that night. At the time, I felt that he deserved an update of his own. It's a little bit late, but he gets to be my Rocktober moment this year. The first photograph was taken at f/2.8, 1/160sec, ISO 3200 at 75mm and the second photograph was taken at f/2.8, 1/250sec, ISO 3200 at 115mm. Here are several more photographs that I took of his performance.
