I have always wanted to go to Mont Royal on Sunday afternoon to experience the tam tams. After “wasting” part of a beautiful day watching two World Cup games, we decided to skip the last one to go see what must be a photographic nirvana.

I have nowhere as much talent as Jonathan when it comes to portraits so I decided to go for something different: playing the role of a medieval war photographer. I’ll have to go back again, if only to correct a few technical flaws. And yes, my inner geek was grinning from ear to ear.

Nevertheless, fighting in the Middle Ages must have been hell ;-). Even though the weapons were made of foam, the high temperature was clearly having an impact on the participants. I don’t want to imagine what it must have been with real swords and no chance to rest without losing one’s head.
