Jean Talon Market on a “balmy” (5•C) February day.

Best bang for your buck

No. This isn’t a post about photo gear but about breakfast. The best bang for your buck breakfast in town has to be in my old ‘hood of St Henri in Montreal. John’s Restaurant has been around amazingly since 1919. Still come here from across town from time to time.

Applied Arts double win!

I got great news today! I will be in this year’s Applied Arts Photo/Illustration annual. I won twice in the same category of “photojournalism story”. This will be my 5th time winning.
You can see the complete list of winners on the Applied Arts website. Because it’s arranged alphabetically by first name, I’m last! Haha!:

rePorter – Windsor

Porter’s inflight magazine, rePorter, sent me to Windsor for a couple of days to shoot their neighbourhood section for Issue 19. Windsor is tiny but there are some great places to eat and drink. One of the highlights for me was whiskey tasting (see below) at the Canadian Club museum. During the years of the prohibition, famous gangster, Al Capone smuggled thousands of cases from Windsor into Detroit.

Good thing the Canadian Club Museum was the last place to shoot that day. I don’t even think autofocus would have helped me! Yes. I’m a lightweight drinker.
