Busking from the Backyard 2021

It feels like forever since I have had the opportunity to not only watch live music, but also photographic it. So as soon as I hear, Busking from the Backyard was once again hosting their second event, I jumped at the opportunity to attend at least one day. This time around it was right in the city, in behind the The Sewing Place. Even though it was an unassuming spot, basically in the back alley, I think it worked out perfectly. It allowed for a lot of room for the performances, and also limited crowds to stop by and watch.

I really do hope live music and concerts keep on going for the rest of the year. If so, I’ll be sure to be at as many as I can make it out to!

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.
