What a wonderful and inspirational day yesterday was. Ann Pearson, a senior member of the Montreal Camera Club and organizer of my presentation at the club last fall, invited me to share a day of photography in her home city. Ann wanted to take me to a place where she felt we could experiment, innovate, […]

Montreal Residency – Day 16
It poured rain yesterday so Rita and I went to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. How inspirational is that! I have all sorts of new ideas! Here are a few murals I photographed on a short walk along Saint Laurent Street two days ago. What a great and fascinating street! Just for fun, I’ll […]
Montreal Residency – Day 14
It’s hard to believe, but half of the month has flown by and I feel I’m just getting going! There are so many places I haven’t even seen yet. I think my plan was to photograph a very few select areas in depth, but I find myself wanting to explore and photograph more and more […]

On day-10, Sylvia Rourke, friend and member of the Montreal Camera Club, very kindly took me for a drive to shoot some of the areas that are more difficult to get to via the Metro. We visited Jacques Cartier Bridge, Isle Saint Helene (where I had a job at Expo 67!), Habitat, the neighbourhood of […]

Montreal Residency – Day 7
One week ago this evening we arrived in Montreal; wow, that went fast! Throughout the week I only used one lens, walking here and there, getting oriented, and trying to get a sense of where I wish to focus my photography. I have dabbled with different subject matter and different styles of image making. Basically, […]
Montreal Residency – Day 6
On a short walk around an area of Montreal known as the Golden Mile, I found myself looking for small details. There are so many perspectives to take when walking around a large and diverse city-scape, so I often concentrate on just one. If I try to see everything from a number of perspectives, I […]
Montreal Residency – Day 4
Wow…what a day yesterday was! I could make 10 blog posts from just a single days shoot! Here are a few. Hard to believe but one of those three blue doors on the right is where we are staying in Montreal! Fabulous. My day always starts by taking the Metro to my days destination. This […]
