Living in the Past

As a young photographer, I spent most weekends photographing on the streets of Montreal. The street was my studio then. And photography was my passion. It allowed me the opportunity to experiment with techniques photographing people in a time when most people were unaware of the camera being pointed at them. This would be very difficult to achieve today. It was open season for photographers.
