Festival of Colours 201

It was Day 2 of an amazing weekend. Yesterday, as I mentioned in my previous post, the Festival of India took place at the Thunder Bay Marina Park. Today, Festival of Colours was the main attraction, and it’s definitely one of my favourite events of the year to attend and of course photograph. I only had about an hour to work with because of prior commitments, but I managed to get some good photos. As usual, there was a ton of people in attendance.

The biggest challenge, for all the photographers there, was not getting our cameras too dirty. I ended up using my ‘older’ camera to get most of the photos, but at the end of the day, it’s impossible not to get dust everywhere. I swear, next year, I’m wrapping up an even older camera and just getting rid in the crowd and going for it. Regardless, it was a super fun event and I am glad I was able to make it for a short while.

The Art of Flamenco

As most of you know I frequently do freelance photography for The Walleye. Every assignment is always unique and interesting in it's own way. I look forward to each and every one. This time around, I would be photographing one of the writers for the Walleye, Amy Jones. She decided to check an item off her bucket list by learning how to flamenco dance. The location was The World Dance Centre and the instructor was world-renowned dancer, Scannura. 

I was only there for about 30 minutes but I could really feel the energy and the stomping of the feet occasionally! It looked like Amy Jones and all the other people in the class where having a lot of fun. You can read all about Amy Jones and her afternoon of flamenco in this months edition of The Walleye.
