not even sure what i was trying to capture. light trails i guess.

Day 58 - Stardust (freestyle)

Day 57 - Discovery (Macro)

This is my macro shot for the week. I found this lonely sad face in the most unexpected place: On a bridge railing. I don't know what it is, probably old faded paint or some man-made art. But it caught my attention. You never know what you find when you're walking around with a camera.

Day 56 - The Weakest Link (Macro)

Maillon de chaîne rouillé dans un parc urbain au centre-ville de Seattle.


Rusted chain link in an urban park, Downtown Seattle.

Jour 53 - regardez-moi dans les yeux ... (Macro)

Day 52 - hello hamilton! (Macro)

Shooting macro can be challenging when the closest focusing distance of your 35mm is over 12 inches; but things will turn quickly if you look through the other side of the glass.

Day 51 - Winter in July (Macro)

I got my macro objective for Christmas 2003 and this is one of the first pictures I took with it. Seven years later it remains one of my favorites, maybe sentimentalism…

Day 50 - More Bubbles (Freestyle)

Day 50 - YEAH!!!! applause to all. Lets make some more bubbles!!

Day 49 - Soap bubble (Freestyle)

I have to admit, this one is out of pure luck. I was taking picture of my daughter making soap bubbles... imagine my surprise when I saw this reflection in one of the shots... our cameras capture images that we don't even notice ourselves!!!

Any physicist to explain me why the right side of the image is upside down???

Day 47 - Farmland (Freestyle)

Taken during my vacation in my hometown of Saguenay (Quebec). There
is a lot of farmland up there, and the fields are full of color right
now. You can also see the mountains far in the background.

Jour 46 - La Lune de Rosemont Petite Patrie (Freestyle)

Depuis quelques temps, je prends mes photos avec un appareil photo numerique ...

Since some time, I take my pictures with a digital camera ...

Day 45 - Bridge Jumping (Freestyle)

Sorry to break the rules but i just couldn't pick one picture this time.

I spent a couple of hours here at the Vineyards last Saturday taking pictures and jumping too. It was a beautiful day and i had never realized bridge jumping could be so much fun.

Day 44 - A frame within a frame (Freestyle)

How clever... I just saved myself the cost of a wooden frame!

Day 43 - Tribute to my favorite musical instrument (Freestyle)

This is my tribute to Fender guitars and Leo Fender, the person who crafted them.

Jour 42 - Fleurs-de-lys? (Freestyle)

L'Assemblée Nationale, en chemin vers le Festival d'Été de Québec.

Quebec City parliament building en-route to the Summer Festival.

Day 40 - My new bike (Freestyle)

This is the reason why I never have enough time to take pictures!

Jour 39 - voisins de palier (Freestyle)

échange de voisinage, sous le soleil, avant l'orage. Il fait bon sous le soleil de Montréal ...

Day 38 - How shallow can you go? (Freestyle)

Shallow depth of field is something that never fails to amuse me.

Fred, i took your advice and shot this before emptying the bottle. :)

Day 37 - View from the passenger seat... (Freestyle)

The view from Interstate 93 going through the White Mountains in New Hampshire...

Day 36 - Amber Skies (Freestyle)

I had been wanting to take this picture for a long time.. finally took it yesterday. This is a view from broadway on Somerville, MA looking west.

Jour 35 - Illumination (Freestyle)

Note to self: Don't think you'll take good pictures when you're drunk. I spoiled many chances last night. I came up with that. I don't even remember what Mireille is holding in her hands that makes her look so bright...

Day 33 - Fireworks! (Freestyle)

Couple watching the 4th of July (actually the 3rd) fireworks display
in Andover, MA.

Jour 32 - (Freestyle)

La pluie fait des claquettes ... il fait chaud ... chaud ... chaud ...

Day 31 - Sing for the moment (Freestyle)

i realized capturing concert lights is quite challenging; especially with moving and flashing lights it's hard to get a steady focus. this is a lucky hand-held shot with high ISO, low shutter speed.

Day 30 - Campfire (Freestyle)

Burning marshmallows by the campfire in Cape Ann, MA

Day 29 - Fire!! (Freestyle)

I was walking around with my camera yesterday when i walked into a burning car. No one was injured and at least someone(me) benefited from the accident!

Day 28 - Black and White in Color... (B&W)

Moon over the St Lawrence River in Tadoussac / Lune au-dessus du fleuve St-Laurent à Tadoussac.


In fact, it's a color photo, but I don't think it was worth converting it for our B&W theme week. Un noir et blanc naturel pourrait-on dire...

Day 26 - Santa Barbara (B&W)

This picture looks almost exactly the same wether in color (as shot)
or in B&W.

Jour 25 - (B&W)

Très chère Espagne

Dearest Spain

Day 24 - B&W

B&W silhouette taken around sunset.

Day 23 - There's a moon over Bourbon street tonight... (B&W)

This picture gives me the same creepy feeling as I get when I hear Sting's song...

"Oh you will never see my face or hear the sound of my feet... while there's a moon over Bourbon street..."

Day 22 - Tuesday June 29th, 2010 (Freestyle)

I took this picture last week in London as we were taking an evening walk. I loved the dynamism and happiness and though it was quite dark outside, the street lamps gave this picture a really nice ambiance. Hope u like it!

Jour 21 - Fabriqué au Québec (Freestyle)

Cette semaine, à Québec, on ne pouvait évidemment pas passer à côté de la St-Jean-Baptiste...

Zach on the Plaines d'Abraham during the St-Jean-Baptiste festivities. A child made in Québec, holding Québec flags made in Québec...

Day 19 - Play ball! (Freestyle)

With summer comes baseball... It was a great evening at the local "A"
Red Sox affiliate game. A good friend, perfect weather, but a loss
for the home team.
Happy Summer!

Jour 18 - (Freestyle)

Un soir de mai, avant d'aller au P'tit Medley, 2 amoureux s'arrêtent pour mettre du pétrole dans la voiture. Il pleuvait ce soir-là.

One evening in May, before going to the P'tit Medley, 2 lovers stop to fill in the car. It was raining this evening.

Day 17 - What's for dinner Fiona? (Freestyle)

I was trying out my flash for the first time at a friend's backyard and she ended up giving me this picture.

Day 16 - I am NOT tired! (Freestyle)

This picture was taken in the car. Kids have capacities we wish we still had... after a 10 minutes power nap, all her energy was back and she was ready to party!

... one would say she looks like she already did party too much!

Day 15 - Strawberries.. Anyone? (Freestyle)

This week I'm in London visiting friends. I took this picture yesterday without realizing what was on the banner. Was quite amused by it later.. quite creative ad for an ice-cream!

Day 14 - Summer Days (Freestyle)

En ce chaud samedi, après la partie de soccer de Zach, nous avons prolongé notre séjour dans les jeux d'eau du parc. Nous y avons rencontré une écolière gothique, quatre mimes (au féminin) et un "male furry"! Nous avons aussi rencontré cette charmante dame accompagnée de sa fille et de sa petite-fille. Un peu raté pour la fête des pères, mais tant pis!

After Zach's soccer game on a hot Saturday morning, we stayed in the park to enjoyed the aquatic playground. There we met a Gothic schoolgirl, four female mimes and one male furry! We also met this nice lady along with her daughter and her granddaughter. I kind of missed the target considering Father's Day, but that's all I could get!

Day 12 - Light Sticks (Freestyle)

My daughter got those at a birthday party... kids can have a lot of
fun with very simple things!

Jour 11 - transports en commun (Freestyle)

Photo prise dans le métro de Barcelone (Espagne), avec un appareil photo digital. C'est insolite car je ne m'attendais pas à cette image au moment du développement du film.

Picture taken in the Barcelona subway (Spain), with a digital camera. Insolite as I was not expecting this image when it came out.

Jour 10 - Bon Appetit! (Freestyle)

Never realized posting pictures taken the same week would be so challenging. I was so close to posting an old picture but i changed my mind when dinner was served.

Day 9 - The Sound of music (Freestyle)

I bought a piano keyboard and music partitions for Christmas... nobody ever touched them since... may as well give them a reason to be around and use them for a photo session on a rainy day!

Day 8 - Tuesday Picture (Freestyle)

I took this picture at a friends BBQ. I was interested by the colors in this picture.

Day 7 - Macro Monday (Old Pic)

Bon mardi à tous. Here's a picture of my son Zach's half sister (Frédérique) taken in July 2005:



Every time I look at it, I'm hypnotized by the reflection in her eyes. I don't where it comes from, but I just love to use the macro feature on my cameras. For this first post, I hesitated between 3 or 4 photos, all taken in macro mode. I wonder what my first theme will be! ;)
