I don't do much  event photography, but when I do, it's always a good opportunity for some great candid shots. Last one I did was last month for the French Fest in Seattle, the celebration of the French speaking countries, people and cultures at the Seattle center. 

Being French, it had some special value to me. If you missed it, here is briefly what it is all about. First We had music and dances show from Tahti:

or from Africa:

... and from many more places. The kids were all fascinated:

The shiest stayed with their family:

Some older kids were volunteering their time and talents to talk about the school they were going to: 

Or were organizing some activities for the youngest ones:

Some adults were more studious while they practice "la Dictée":

Others were looking to find a used book to read in French:

Obviously, food being an important part of the French speaking cultures, no one could have missed the "Moules Frites"stand or the 2nd edition of the "best baguette competition!"
