Vieux Quebec

I haven't been to Quebec City in some time. So here i am wandering the side streets of old Quebec trying to avoid all the other tourists. I was surprised at the number of people willing to freeze outside. I came across this house that i remember from my previous visits. I think i just like the yellow.

Le Massif

What a fantastic day! It snowed all night and all day! Powder powder powder! For those of you who have never been skiing east of montreal, you dont know what your missing. Le Massif is a really great hill that rivals Tremblant any day. With its own World Cup run and tons of Sous- bois (Glades), steep and long circle runs, le Massif is a must for all avid skiers. Although it snow all day, we did get a little view of the St. Lawrence towards the end of the day.

Sunlight

What a great day! Blue sky as far as the eye can see. The light was so beautiful. It was so warm i didnt even have to wear gloves.

Night Skiing

This is how i spent Christmas night! There was no one, no lines, it was -5 and the snow conditions were fantastic! I guess all I could have asked for was some company.

I apologize for the poor filming but i was just holding the camera at waist level and trying to still ski. At least you get the idea that ... there was no one there!

Merry Christmas

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who have been looking at this photo blog. I know that December has not been a great month but the new year is coming and of course one of my resolutions will be to get back on top of this site.

If your in Sudbury, check out T.A.G & Film. I currently have photos hanging there as part of the "Made in Sudbury" exhibition, along with a great group of other local artists. The T.A.G & Film is located at 19 Grey St. (the street between the Sudbury Arena and the Townhouse) or if you get lost give them a call 705-671-1900. This exhibition runs until January 20, '08.

Merry Christmas everyone!

More Branches

This is a shot from a few weeks ago. I was originally draw to this plant because it was dead but still retained its shape. Once i was up close, I could not get away from the contrasting colours in the background. The warmth of the background brick against the cool snow. I still decided to focus selectively so that the plant remained the center of focus.

Bus Stop

One of my last days taking the bus. Waiting in the cold. I was told that the bus etiquette states that you cant get on across the street, go around for the ride and get out of the cold. You should only get on in the direction that your going ...

La onzième édition de notre exposition sans jury et activité de financement annuelle
Au 174 rue Elgin, Sudbury

Au Louvre à Paris, non… mais au Nouveau Louvre à Sudbury, oui.

Si on ne peut entrer au musée du Louvre à Paris et acheter sur un coup de cœur une œuvre d’art, au Nouveau Louvre à Sudbury, oui. On s’entend, ce ne sera pas la Joconde, ni L’Esclave de Michel-Ange … Au Nouveau Louvre, la collection que vous propose la GNO a autant de génie, mais prend des proportions plus intimes.

Le Nouveau Louvre, c’est une exposition sans jury qui s'est créée toute une tradition à Sudbury. Tant auprès des artistes exposants qu’auprès de son public. Conçu à l’origine comme événement de financement ponctuel, le Nouveau Louvre s’est transformé en un événement annuel grandement attendu.

Onzième édition déjà! Près de cent artistes de la région et de la province y exposeront leurs œuvres et près de deux cents œuvres tapisseront les murs de la GNO, une grande et vibrante sélection. Chaque œuvre exposée sera en vente à la modique somme de... tenez-vous bien, 125 $. Oui, 125$! Les profits des ventes seront partagés entre la GNO qui reçoit 50$ et l’artiste qui en reçoit 75$.

Voilà l’occasion unique d’acheter une œuvre originale ou encore d’offrir à l’un des vôtres un cadeau unique à l’occasion des fêtes. Des certificats-cadeaux sont aussi disponibles dès maintenant. En ligne ou en personne les ventes se déroulent suivant le principe du premier arrivé premier servi. Alors ne manquez pas votre chance !

Édition virtuelle du Nouveau Louvre
Vous pouvez visiter le Nouveau Louvre et vous procurer des œuvres à partir du site web de la GNO - www.gn-o.org. Pour acheter en ligne, vous n’avez qu’à sélectionner une œuvre et la réserver par téléphone en composant le 1877 358 6615.

L’ouverture physique et virtuelle aura lieu à 13 h tapant le samedi 1er décembre. Venez faire la file, on vous offrira un bon chocolat chaud !

Les heures régulières de la galerie sont du mardi au samedi de 12h à 17h et pour ceux qui naviguent, le site sera ouvert 24 heures sur 24.

Le Nouveau Louvre est commandité par Sudbury Paint and Custom Framing, Grand & Toy et le Laughing Buddha

My Wish List

I was looking at todays Special Feature on Sports Shooter. There I found my way to Thomas E. Witte's homepage. I hope that one day, I can brag to have all of this equipment. But really there is a wealth of advise and information on his site.
