I have just gone through a first round of editing for my Paris and Amsterdam shots and have updated my recent work gallery as a consequence. You can see it here. I hope you enjoy them. Now back to some more editing

Under the Arch

I finally arrived home yesterday and have a bucket load of work to get down to, including processing the Paris and Amsterdam pictures. It will take me a little while to get into the groove here, so, in the meantime, here is a shot I took from under the Arche de la Defense in Paris, looking straight up.

A gambling man…

I am not!

The title of the post only relates to the pictures that come with it, but in reality, I want to discuss something else (as I am writing this, I eerily feel like I am breaking up with someone…not that I ever have ).  Anyhow, as you have probably noticed I have been somewhat neglecting this blog of late…believe me though, when I say that it is not with pleasure. I really love sharing my thoughts and images with you (I felt like throwing  ”widsom” in there, but who am I fooling!), but the fact is that life has been on the hectic side of late, and I just can’t get around to posting quality content on a regular basis. Which leads me to this: instead of going on an erratic schedule, I’ve decided to post less often, but to do so at a clear and established schedule. From now on until this madness dies down, I will be posting an “article” on Mondays and a picture/pictures on Fridays. I do hope that I’ll still see you around and keep getting your precious feeback!

So, this week-end, I headed down to Montreal where I finally got a chance to photograph one of the true masterpieces of Montreal’s architecture: the Casino. While I am no fan of gambling, you have got to give it to the place. This building was part of Wold Expo 67 and was in fact the French Pavillion at the expo. Granted, it does look somewhat dated, but the originality of the place is hard to beat. To make things better, my friend, Momma Nature, with the help of some less natural smog, made for a brilliant “twilighty” backdrop to complement the golden shine of the Casino.

Photo of the Month – July 2009

This month’s photograph of the month comes (shockingly) from my trip out West earlier this month. One of my favorite moments came as Jay Goodrich and I drove up to Mt Rainier for a nice sunset shoot. On our way back, the black sky was just screaming night photography. I’ve posted other shots of the Milky Way but I wanted to make this one a bit more special. While I couldn’t get Art Wolfe to pose for us on this one, his trusty car more than made up for it and didn’t even complain . The car was painted with a LED headlamp with a red filter attached to it.

Not so short or sweet

Well, I spent the last week in Geneva and it was anything but short and sweet. To put it mildly, the work week was hectic and frustrating, but thankfully it is over. Unfortunately, all I have to show for it is a photograph I took while waiting at the airport lounge…before I even left!

So, no Mont Blanc, no Matterhorn, no Geneva panorama, no Lavaux vines…ah well…there will be a next time, I hope (the Alps are certainly near the top of my list).

In any case, I don’t want to make  a whiny post, so I simply wanted to make a couple of annoucements for the upcoming week: tomorrow, I will be posting new part of the Light Chasers interview series. As I announced when I first started this feature, I was not going to concentrate only on nature photographers. This month’s featured photographer is a Music photographer: Nancy Desrosiers (@nannerland on twitter), don’t miss it!

At the end of the week, I will be flying out to Seattle to meet my friends Art Wolfe and Jay Goodrich for a fun week shooting around the Pacific Northwest. I simply CANNOT wait! I feel like one of those kid who wants to sleep all week long just so that the week goes faster . Again, I am not sure how much access to the internet I’ll have next week, but hopefully, I’ll be able to make some updates as we go along.

Have a nice one!
