Joyeux Noël, chers amis!

Monday, December 24th, 2007

Ce poste est didié à tous mes amis, ex-camarades et ex-collègues à Montréal. Alors voilà mon premier noël en Chine, sans neige ni Père Noël, sans sapin ni dinde, sans chant ni messe, sans bonhomme de neige ni crèche, sans bottes ni mitaines, sans course aux cadeaux ni Boxing Day, sans don de charité ni [...]

Home sweet home – Montréal

Thursday, October 4th, 2007

Last week, I went back to Montreal after 6 months stunt at Shanghai, but only for a week, from 15/09 to 23/09. Mary and I didn’t feel any excitment before going, I had to work the day before, and we actually packed out baggage the morning before leaving. We had so many stuff to bring [...]

Adieu Radio-Canada

Sunday, August 26th, 2007

Depuis mon arrivée à Shanghai, étant donné que le canal TV de SRC n’est plus disponible ici, je jette un coup d’oeil sur le site web de Radio-Canada presqu’à chaque jour, pour ne pas être entièrement déconnecté de la vie à Montréal. Ça va assez bien pendant 3 mois… jusqu’au moment où l’événement des deux [...]

Un moustique s’en vient, augmentons le prix!

Wednesday, April 4th, 2007

S’il faut croire aux histoires de l’institut canadien des produits pétroliers, la dernière vague d’augmentation de prix de l’essence serait due à l’incertitude géopolitique causée par la capture des 15 marines britaniques par la garde côtière iranienne. L’augmentation en janvier serait causée par l’incendie d’une raffinerie en Ontario. L’augmentation précédente était causée par la guerre [...]

My latest Montreal night shots

Tuesday, March 27th, 2007

Well, I don’t mean to never again take photo of Montreal night view, but I think for the rest of my life Montreal’s downtown view is not likely going to change significantly. I will probably try another time in 10 years… Or unless someone challenge me with better shots than mine! Equipment: Canon 20D, EF-S [...]

My favorite outdoor portrait

Tuesday, October 31st, 2006

Just got done processing a set of autumn outdoor portraits taken two weeks ago. It wasn’t a particularly good Saturday morning, supposedly sunny, it turned out to be mostly cloudy, and especially cold, making it somehow unconfortable for the model to pose for the shots. But after processing those photos, I feel like I really [...]

Hospital foundation selling chocolate bars: is this ethical?

Friday, May 19th, 2006

While passing thru a cash counter in a store today, I saw a box of chocolate bars, on top of it was written: “3$ for the Louis H. Lafontaine hospital foundation”. I’m alright with a hospital foundation seeking fund by itself rather than asking for government help all the time, but what I’m not alright [...]

A fading star

Friday, March 17th, 2006

Once upon a time, there was a great city called Montreal. It was the economical and cultural center of Canada, it was considered the bridge between Europe and America. It had the charm of European cities with the modernity of an American cities. The cost of live was among the lowest of western cities, while [...]
