A Dash of Color

Change of pace following the B&W set from Montreal...

I Have Mono

Enjoyed my time in Montreal this week, and fortunately during time between conference sessions I was able to get out and shoot. This series deserved a monochrome treatment. From the street to the sky...

Another Brick in the Wall

Adjacent to our hotel is a funky indoor mall: the Centre de Commerce Mondial. And inside that, incredibly, rests a piece of the Berlin Wall. It is one of many sections that have been distributed around the world (found there is a list of sites here). It's really quite amazing to see and touch such a significant piece of human history, etched by decades of pain and suffering.





There are some more uplifting sights in the mall as well.

Look Up!

Thanks to a noisy pidgeon up above that caught my attention.

Grit In the Alleys of Montreal

Great light, great texture to be found in an alley adjacent to the hotel.

Different vibe, but I love the sole overhead lamp above this alley door...

Graphic Images From Montreal

In beautiful Montreal this week for a conference, and with some open time went for my usual wander. Went all graphic stylin' with lines galore this time around.

A Taste of Halifax: The Street

There is an overwhelming volume of things to shoot in downtown Halifax. Went for wander to see what I could, well, see. Hard light right outside my hotel first caught my eye...


Hard light. Hard lines. A view from above later in the morning proved fruitful, turning a plain 'ol stop sign into a strong graphic element...


Doors and graffiti, for whatever reason, continue to interest me. Found an alcove along Barrington that offered both...


From graffiti to what appears to be a commissioned mural. Low, warm light was trucking down this street. Got the camera up just in time to catch this old guy making the hard ascent up the hill. Fortuitous as I had seen him earlier and wanted to capture him somehow.


Colorful. Seems to be a good descriptor of the city and the people here. So I guess the following from a local street merchant is somewhat relevant...


Finally, another trip up towards the Citadel. Actually got there after closing, but the hill top and rising moon seemed interesting. And the approach was lit from the setting sun bouncing off an opposing office tower. Convenient.
