Performers at The Vancouver Folk Music Festival, 2011
This year I was the photography coordinator for the Vancouver Folk Music Festival. As such, I had the opportunity to photograph some of the many talented and even legendary musicians on and off stage.
Here are some of my favorite performance shots from the weekend.

Some of my favorite shots came from Canadian talent, Joel Plaskett. It seemed to me that Joel was completely absorbed in his music and in the art of his performance. He was lost to his music and at the same time he was engaged and responsive to his audience. I think that this is completely evident in these shots. This was a performance that was a joy to hear and a privilege to photograph. I’m Joel’s newest fan!

I have the pleasure of listening to Buck 65 (Rich Terfry) most afternoons as I work in my office at the college. Rich hosts The Drive on CBC Radio 2.
The lower photograph is of Marnie Herald who accompanied Rich.
