All in a Row
Back in 2006 I visited Toronto while I considered a Ph.D. program in Marketing. While there, I saw this new housing development and couldn’t resist taking a photo of the low winter sun illuminating the townhomes.

We’ve made it to the final image in my Montreal montage. If you missed any of the previous ones, click the Montreal tag below and you’ll be all caught up. We’re back to where the series started, at the Jean Talon market. I was attempting […]
Sphere Regression
We’re almost to the end of my Montreal series. Today brings us part 9 of 10.
The clear acrylic panels of the Montreal Biosphere burned away in a fire back in 1976, but the structure remains. Today it houses exhibits on climate, as well as this interesting sphere-within-a-sphere lounge.

Rooftops & Rings
Welcome to my Montreal series! Today is part 8 of 10. We’re back above ground for the rest of the series. I hope you enjoy! As you can see, we’re back above ground, atop our hotel in the heart of downtown Montreal. Eaves, Chris (Aug. […]
Metro Series, No. 3: Sortie Solitaire
Welcome to my Montreal series! Today is part 7 of 10, and the final image in a mini-Metro series within my Montreal montage. The efficiency of the Metro is amazing. This photo wasn’t taken in the middle of the night. We had just missed a […]
Metro Series, No. 2: Metro Abstractions
Welcome to my Montreal series! Today is part 6 of 10, and we’re in the middle of mini-Metro series amid it all.
Today’s pic is all about textures and shapes. What I realized most when looking back at the photos from the trip is that I really, really liked carrying around the 6D with just the 40mm pancake lens. Hauling around the Bronica SQ-A wasn’t horrible, but the 6D-40mm setup felt like as light as a feather. I realize that’s not really the case, but it’s all about perspective. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this subway abstraction.

Metro Series, No. 1: Pairings
Today welcomes part 5 of 10 in my Montreal series. The Underground in Montreal fills a special place in my heart. It’s no secret that I don’t like the sun, but this subway system is better than any other I’ve been in. It makes New […]
Molson Beach
Today marks part 4 of 10 in my Montreal series. OK, the name of this is really Plage de l’Horloge, or Clock Beach in my native tongue. I’m taking artistic license here and calling it Molson Beach instead. Sadly I just realized that I didn’t […]
Summer Daydreams
Today is part 3 of 10 in my Montreal series.
Coming from Chicago with its lake, Montreal does well with the fast-flowing river at its doorstep. Here’s the typical idyllic scene of Quebec in all its mid-Summer glory. The first two photos in this series were both analog shots, and I have a rather nice one of this scene, too. Heck. Why not? Here’s a bonus version of the same scene, but this time on Fujifilm Provia 100F.

Old Montreal
Today is part 2 of 10 in my Montreal series. We walked or took the Metro everywhere, and it was quite liberating to be free of a car and all that driving entails. Old Montreal was busy in that good sort of way. Eaves, Chris […]
Picking Peppers
Welcome to my Montreal series! Today is part 1 of 10, including a mini-Metro series in the middle of it. I hope you enjoy! Today we start with a trip to the Jean Talon Market. It was a grey day, but perfect for wandering around […]
Left Leaning
Another shot from that 2008 trip to Canada’s capital. The tower, known as Peace Tower, is so tall (302ft) that craning your neck is almost a given.

Parliament
Here’s another photo from our trip to Canada’s capital, this time of the Centre Block. Looking back at these older photos, it’s easy to see the mistakes I made, such as shooting at f22 and having some dust in or on the lens, framing, etc. […]
