Every Sunday afternoon medieval enthusiasts meet for combat on Mont-

Royal. These guys reminded me of oversized versions of my 10 year old

boy and his friends.

Refugee camp in downtown Montr顬, an event organised once a year to

help the less fortunate.

anybody has hints on how to convey a snowstorm?

Hi Hugh, her name is Barbara she's american and have been living in Montr顬 for many years. I've met her a few times in a downtown square where she goes on wednesday nights for the community soup.

Barbara manages to keep a small appartement where she spends as little time as possible because she doesn't feel safe in it. She gets her clothes and food from charity organisms.

In a way she's very together. She's always impeccably dressed and she tells me her apartment is spotless, which I have no problem to believe. On the other hand, her pain is raw and contant. She carries around some horrible past; she's been raped at age 20, she's been in prison, her kids have been takent away from her 35 years ago and she misses them immensely.

She was happy to see me again last week, and as usual, was clowning around in front of the camera for me. We both laughed a lot. She gave me a head band and some cookies that she had just gotten for herself.

It wasn't easy deciding how to crop this picture. Please comment.

Hoarding gives an illusion of power: more things gives more weight, and weight gives a false sense of strength. Actually the heavier a hoarder gets, the weaker and the more vulnerable to another force (gravity) he becomes. Weightlessness is a better path to power and freedom.

Good morning Hugh, and thanks for your valuable comments the other day on my portefolio.

Il m'est difficile de choisir laquelle de cette serie je prefere. C'est tellement beau de voir les etoiles a travers ces jeux de lumiere. Excellent travail.

Thank you for your comments.

Last summer, during a street event called "Le Festival des Arts du

village", I had a kiosque for a few days, selling paintings and

photographs. At the end of the day there was always an unusual little

parade strolling by. I thought this character was particularily

touching.

Very successful choices in regard to depth of field. Beautiful.

I took 3 rolls of autumns foliage. None of the shots came out like I

wanted, except this one. Please comment. Thanks.

J'aime le caract貥 graphique.

This building is rather banal during the day time but at night it's

another story. Please say something!

I was trying out my polarizer filter. It's a simple shot but I like

it. What do you think?

Thanks for the explanation Miles. take care.

beautiful picture.

What's an nd filter and what does it do?

superb

Bonjour Gaetan. Another great shot of Chⴥau Frontenac. I preferred your initial shot; the colors and textures were softer, which made the perspective flatter like a collage, which I liked.In this one the colors are vivid but the sky is too bright and eats away some of the foliage. Take care.

I waited over half an hour for the fishies to swim under the

uncovered area of the pond. Was it worth it? I had fun anyways.

thank you for your comments.

I have been inhabited for years now with the fantasy of burning my

instrument. I find some relief in taking shots of it by the fire.

I like those guys! Great capture.

excellent

Beautiful

One of those country road small church right before the storm. Is it

too dark?

Thanks Doug and Carlos for your responses.
