To not having a festival...
In the blink of an eye. Stendhal Festival officially got cancelled yesterday. A real blow to Tim, Ross and John, more to the point a big blow to the Limavady area as it would have been a great festival.
There's a bunch of reasons why this could have possibly happened which I'm not going to disect here. From a photog point of view this does re-enforce the point of "do your reshoot now". When the call came in to do the pic I thought it wise to photograph both outcomes while I was there. It meant sacrificing a poster but hey, that night was the council meeting where everything hung in the balance. At the time no one knew which way it was going to go.
Once the shoot was in the bag I sent both images across.... who knew what would happen. The outcome was good, the festival was to happen. Only with a week to go the decision was made to cancel.
Shame. No work is lost as it all counts for 2009.
