Photo of the Week #43

Last night, millions of fans across Canada tuned in to the last concert by The Tragically Hip. I tried to get credentials to shoot, but the promoter didn't allow anyone in to photograph. I debated about watching from Market Square, but opted to stay home and watch from there. The CBC did a wonderful job on the broadcast and The Hip didn't disappoint either. I've seen them many times over their career and last night was a fitting end to the story. It was emotional to say the least, saying goodbye to a band that has contributed to the soundtrack of most of our lives. What did it for me was when Gord said at the end of one of the encores, "Thank you and have a good life." Gord always seemed to know what to say to get to you.
