Thursday Evening, I voluntarily photographed a meeting for the Youth Chamber of Commerce of Montreal with Anna Li who assisted and contributed a couple photographs to the event.
The event was pretty bleak from a photography point of view: 30 people crammed into a tiny conference room for three hours. 2 speakers ( Benoît Perreault and Anthony Chamy, fyi), a broken flickering fluorescent light and no flash allowed. This was also the first time I had a problem with the NOISE that my camera made everytime the shutter clicked. Surprising how loud it resonates in a room of very well behaved young adults!!
On the other hand, I had the fantastic opportunity to listen in on two fantastic speeches about business, opportunity and most importantly how they got there. I suppose what I’m trying to say is that when you are offered to do a gig, don’t turn it down just because you’re not being compensated from a monetary point of view because there are other gains that we don’t usually see right away!
That being said, here’s the album from the event:
