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.

Busking from the Backyard
With almost all of the larger outdoor festivals and events being cancelled, I was super excited to hear an intimate backyard live stream being put on by The Bay Street Bastards. I knew I had to be a part of it, so I reached out to the organizer, Kontrol Media Studios to see if they need some coverage of the event. They said yes. :)

Fat Guys Auto Parts - Virtual Car Show
I had the pleasure of helping out with an amazing event for Fat Guys Auto Parts. I was asked if I wanted to drive around all day, visiting peoples homes, and photographing their vintage cars. There was never any possibility that I would say no. After all, one of my favourite things to do is photograph cars of anytime, let along vintage ones. I have sorely missed the outdoor car shows that usually take place in the summer, so I was so excited to take part in this event.

Bohemian Queen - Featuring Jeans ‘n Classics
A couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing a wonderful event put on by the Thunder Bay Symphony Orchestra. Michael Shotton and the Jeans ’n Classics band teamed up with the TBSO to rock you with this high-energy tribute to Freddie Mercury and Queen. It was a packed house, and when I wasn’t photographing the event, I was sitting back and taking in the amazing performance.

Big Lake Reflections - The Chanterelle
I had the honour of photographing a very special event at the Chanterelle earlier this week. It was called Big Lake Reflections and and it was put on by Eco Superior. It was intended to be an evening celebrating our relationship with Lake Superior through the Arts. A wonderful diverse, gathering of artists of various modalities were in attendance to share and highlight one piece of art that celebrates our relationship with Lake Superior. The goal was to hopefully inspire us all to deepen that relationship, and in turn, inspire greater stewardship.

Fort William Historical Park - Family Day 2020
It was such an amazing Family Day at Fort William Historical Park. Even though there were a lot of different events going on for Family Day throughout the city, we decided to spend most of our time at the park and it was well worth it. I couldn’t get over all the amazing activities that happened throughout the day. We spent about 3 hours walking around.

8th Annual Wolfy's Pond Cup
Last year was my first time photographing Wolfy’s Pond Cup. As soon as I finished taking photos of it, I knew I had to come out to the next one. Fast forward to today, and it was here again. Just like last year, it was just as great. It is such a unique atmosphere, and you can just tell that everyone is having a fantastic time.

TBSO Women & The Blues
This past Saturday I was invited to take photos of the TBSO Women and The Blues event at the Italian Hall. I had photographed a few TBSO events in the past, but this was by far my favourite one. Performers Nancy Freeborn and Zoey Williams sang a variety of songs by Billy Holiday and Diana Ross, amongst others.
Back by the TBSO, everyone put on such an amazing show in front of a sold out crowd. If you haven’t already, next time they perform together, I highly encourage you to check them out. It’s an evening of music will never forget!
