Saturday Elaine and I shared a booth at the Autumn on Main Festival in Mount Holly. It started out with a quick drizzle and then the sun came out for the rest of the day. This is a nice festival and I would recommend a trip to Mount Holly next year to check it out.
There were several musical acts during the day, but the last one is one of my favorites. The Overmountain Men came on at 3:00 pm and played a wide range of work. It was a good set and I'm glad I got to hear them live.
I took several photos of the band playing and switched to black and white and then some sepia. I enjoy monochromatic portraits since it takes the color out of the equation and makes me concentrate on the features and contours.

You WON'T be disappointed.
Saturday I was at the Mount Holly Autumn on Main festival with Elaine and Paul. We had a nice setup thanks to Becky Story for the tent and Chris Beloni for loaning me her shelves. We had high hopes since Becky and Elaine had pretty good sales there last year, but the crowds just weren't in attendance this year. There was plenty of beautiful artwork for sale, live music, and food. With 90+ degree temperatures and several other festivals and shows happening simultaneously, the attendees were sparse.
