Le 13 Novembre a eu lieu le vernissage de TRACES, une exposition de Rachel Côté, Maude Chauvin et moi-même. C'était super! Merci à tous les amis visiteurs.
If you do a google image search on corporate photography, you probably will see portraits of people with crossed arms... I mean, way too much. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against crossed arms. People cross their arms regularly and there is no reason to not portray those people as they are comfortable. Unfortunately, too many photographers associate crossed armed portraits with corporate photography. Corporate photography should should reflect a companies identity. In a modern world, a company's identity should be a little more subtle and targeted than the standard 'Strong, professional and confident'. For that matter, corporate photography should be more than just portraits of people in business suites. What about showing off interaction with clients or colleagues?

Rehearsals have moved to a nearby wharf and the sun is going down.

Ca fais longtemps que j'en parle à des Montréalais incrédules qui me regardent en se disant: non mais quel fou, quel traitre. Ils me disent que ca ferme tôt, qu'ils ne font que travailler, que c'est froid. Il n'y pas grand ville sans défaut. Après tout, il est vrai qu'ils ont Rob Ford comme maire... merde, je pense que c'est pire pour Montréal. Voici mes quelques bonnes raisons d'aimer Toronto: -Streetcar; toujours le fun de voyager dans un transport qui n,existe pas dans notre province -Chinatown; un vrai, beau gros chinatown qui n'a pas été limité a quatre patés de maison -les hipster de Toronto; bien avant que les moustaches ai frappé le mile end, les Torontoise se promenaient avec d'énormes lunettes soleil sur des velo retro sur la rue Queen. -Le Drake et Gladstone; Des hotels boutique...
