Multiple Perspective Photography Walking along Saint Laurent Boulevard in the multi-cultural ‘Le Plateau’ area of Montreal, I was struck by the emotional and physical complexities of urban life compared to the seemingly simpler life and landscape of my rural home in BC.

Montreal Residency – Day 19
Down but not out! I came down with flu bug of some kind which laid me up for a couple of days. Just before that happened, however, I went for a walk along the old port of Montreal, trying to get some sort of perspective on the iconic Silo #5. Here are a few images […]

What a wonderful and inspirational day yesterday was.
