Montreal State of Mind
You've probably noticed that there is very little activity on this blog. Well, part of the reason for that is the fact that I have started writing for a new blog called Montreal State of Mind. Check it out !

Gun-toting Texan teachers.
Harrold Independent School District, in Texas, will be allowing teachers to pack heat in the classroom, this fall. Whatever happened to a ruler across your fingers ?
From the article:
"What if somebody gets in? What are we going to do?" he said. "It's just common sense."
Totally.
Shoot, it's just common sense.

Philip Toledano
I couldn't help but be drawn into this incredibly intimate series by photographer Philip Toledano (via Conscientious). It portrays a struggle with inevitability and mirrors a full range of emotions.

Update
This weekend, being the dreary and rainy affair it was, allowed me to completely overhaul my website and add new work to it. It is, as always, still a work in progress, but check it out and let me know what you think.

I recently started working a new job in Old Montreal who, thanks to the constant influx of tourists, is one of the city's more sanitized neighbourhoods. It was a major change to my days in St-Henri, which is much more blue-collar working class. People here wear suits and are lawyers and pretend to lead very important lives. In any case, having now no one to eat lunch with, I took to walking around a lot and try to look just as important. That part didn't pan out so much.
The walking, however, is great and has allowed me to discover what is actually a really pretty part of Montreal. I also noticed how the higher buildings here, and the abundance of large windows, created elongated rectangles of reflected light and it is pretty fun to try and find pictures amongst them.
I had noticed one particular such pool of light spilling into a restaurant's window, which was opened at about 12h30 everyday. I imagine this is when the employees came in to prep the place for the day ahead. Of course, when I first noticed this, I was cameraless and so every day for about a month, I tried to be there when this light would glow into the old restaurant. To this day I am still trying. In the meantime, however, I spotted some light on this broom and, as a busboy looked on quizzically I snapped this frame. It was chosen as part of Film is not dead it just smells funny's "Thursday is 35mm day".
