Headshots: Avenue's Afternoon Lights

When the sky cleared and the sun came out, the shadows drew the features of his face in a new light. These headshots were taken on September 5th, 2011.

The Remedy.

Click thumbs for full-size portrait-format shots!

Tell me all about the wild rides! Life’s careless when you follow the waves, and easy when you lead, emerge on top and grow richer for the time you spend.

These are byproducts of a photo session I had with a friend for passport photos in early August 2011.

Clara Engel: Beyond The Music.

These photos were taken on the 9th of April 2011 on the Plateau, Montréal. One of the first days of Spring – and I’m happy I can shoot outside again. Clara Engel is a musician who has her music up at Bandcamp. Recommended!

Images and poetry eagerly linger beyond the click.

A blue mood.

This must have been the foggiest day of the entire year. The air was so humid, cold and still that even the birds had fallen silent. He had given up trying to light his cigar, and instead just stood there, pondering his next move. She was pissed, no question about that. But could he risk catching up with her and letting Baker slip away?

Suddenly, he missed the days when he was a man with nothing to lose.

Challenge ahead.

Mom and dad cheered from the edge of the field, and he was trembling with excitement. This was it. The great day. The racket felt heavy in his hands, heavier than usual, and today, for the first time, he felt the uncertainty that came with something new beginning.

The Elusive Cutie.

She shines, and bounces, and smiles, and dances
And opens a magic box chock-full of chances
But don’t ever dare let your mind go astray
‘Cause she’ll silently turn and tiptoe away.

Hayley: The Red and Blue Side.

More material from Hayley’s photo session on October 17th 2010. Sometimes we feel like sleepwalking through our time on Earth. Sometimes we feel like existing where life used to hold our souls in place. We need to wake up. Smell the rain. Feel the touch of the sun on our skins. These were taken in an untrodden side street.

Hayley: The Monochrome Side.

In autumn 2010, a charming and talented young lady found her way to Montreal to gather new experiences. Hayley met me while browsing Craigslist for a computer screen to buy, and stayed in touch for a photo session. This was a sunny Saturday in mid-October. Those blessed fresh days of autumn are fleeting. Here’s a reminder and a fresh set of scenes from stories never written.

Laura: The Red Side.

We didn’t have to walk far to go far with this session. The very streets of Montreal, quelques pas from our place, provided delightful backdrops for our little scenes. This is the red part of it.

Laura: The Black and White Side.

This is the black and white part of Laura’s photo session from the heart of fall (or the falling heart?) in 2010. Winter is on our doorstep now, but we have these impressions to keep with us, and the beautiful parts of the cold season to look forward to… Whereever they may be.
