Montréal, Quebec | Canada

I’m here in Montréal, trying my hardest not to draw attention to my (very American) lack of multilingual talents. I’m resolving to learn Spanish, Italian, and French so that I can easily travel to Canada, Europe, and Latin America with ease. Plus, I just think it’s charming when people can switch between languages like it’s nothing. SO DAMN CHARMING. I spent the last day and a half walking and bicycling around the city with the ever talented Timco and his absolutely fantastic cousin and photographer (our host) Monique. So far, my favorite area is the Old Port. It reminds me of Paris meets St. Augustine meets San Francisco. I can’t exactly put my finger on it, truthfully. It reminds me of a memory, like from a dream, that I just can’t pinpoint.

Tomorrow we have a day of rest to gear up for the wedding on Saturday. It’s going to be quite the adventure. I hope to have many stories to regale you with afterward. If I survive. ;)

Montréal is lovely though and the weather is like a dream. Here are some images from the last two days around the city all shot with the 50mm 1.2L (because it’s all I had on me)…

I’ll be out of the country till late Sunday night with no phone access and limited access to email so thanks for your patience as Nate and I’s response times will be slower than normal until I get back.

One morning, after waking up super early to see Regis and Kelly only to find out after a $12 cab ride that they weren’t shooting that day (way to update your website Regis and Kelly) we walked to the park and then took the Subway down from Midtown to the Brooklyn Bridge and walked across it. All the way across and back. And we almost eloped at city hall. But decided to go get lunch in the village instead. Except after all of that it was still too early for lunch. So we stopped by Amy’s Bread and got some sort of coconut/chocolate chip/graham cracker cookie bar and watched people through the window. In other news, this may be my favorite black and white conversion of all time. I also feel like my images are maturing in their story telling. Living the dream…

I had to stand on the side rail of the bridge for this one: Empire state building through the Washington Bridge tower.
