The Montreal Jazz Festival: a photo essay

Monday, July 13, 2009


The Montreal Jazz festival is the greatest musical event in North America. It is a regular feature of the city of Montreal and is, usually, held in the first week of July. The timing is probably due to the fact that the weather is the most agreeable at this time of the year. Unfortunately, this year this wasn't the case. Rain has been falling almost unceasingly, since June.

I was planning to go to the festival every day and make hundreds of pictures; but I almost missed the entire event due to bad weather. But at the final day, God had mercy on us, and the sun started shining. I managed to shoot around 150 pictures. Here is a random selection.

My favorite band of the evening from Mexico


She was awesome


Pure ecstasy


Stand up bass player


Mexican beauty


What's next


Reading while waiting for the next show


The best combination ever: beer and music


My favorite T-shirt of the evening


The loneliest man of the evening


All benches are taken


This might develop into a relationship
