It has been my distinct privilege to have been allowed access to photograph the superb musical talent featured at Parry Sound’s annual Festival of the Sound. At times the performances are so overpowering that I find myself setting down the camera and surrendering to the magic of the musical moment. That was my experience as I listened to Cameron Crozman play the Bach Cello Suite No. 2 to Ontario’s great outdoors. I was wholly taken by his interpretive responses to the lush new sounds that projected over the water and echoed from the trees. Then I had to remind myself why I was there, and again reached for the camera. — Mark S.
