Interesting Year for Clouds in Montreal
I don't remember being so fascinated by the variety and changes in the clouds since my childhood. It seems every drive there have been unusual formations - although it is not a good time to photograph - a sample from one week

A Few of the Statues seen on my Walk into Shediac
I walked into town to see what there would be to photograph - I was expecting to do mostly architecture - but came across a number of strange statue setups - here are two
Two lined Photos
I recently took the photo on the left in Saint Hilaire and it reminded me of a photo I had taken a few years ago at the Shelbourne Museum grounds.
Adirondack Chairs at our Neighbour's Cottage
what I am finding to be one of the most photogenic subjects lately-
three photos from a weekend stay in July
during the day
the evening sky reflected in the water
and a last one with fog in the morning
Photographer@large #39
I had to be very fast on this one. The woman was stopped in front of the Eiffel Tower for only a few seconds! There is actually another photographer@large in the background with his tripod.
Using my photographs as substitute for plaques on Levy Pilotte Day
Last Friday was our annual sports day where we invite all the staff for a day of golf or water activities at l'Esterel. After the meal we finally honored staff who had been employed by the firm for 5,19,15,20 or 25 years. Instead of giving the customary plaque our HR thought it would be a better idea to give one of my photographs with a little dedication on the matting. I spent time trying to match the photos to the individual staff members and in the end feel that the whole idea was a great success. Above is the riskiest photo that I had selected.
Hoop Danse Montreal
Recently my wife and I were invited to a BBQ organized by "the friends of Stewart Hall" of which we are members. As entertainment they had the Hoop Dance Montreal duo - I really was expecting nothing but enjoyed their routine immensely. (The point and shoot camera is perfect in that you always can have it with you)

Montreal Walls
While walking downtown noticed the great number of condos being built, and how this seemed to make many more walls visible than we usually have
Photographer@large #38 (a b and c)
My first iPad Photographer@large. I like how the one getting photographed is looking at his camera.
from June 25th in Paris
Giving three because somehow I find it difficult to call users of iPads as photographers
ATP visits Montreal
The tournament is going on this week and I went Saturday to watch some of the qualifying.
Took about 40 shots of the players and was happy with the reaction time of my shutter release.
One thing I learnt when I reviewed the photographs- is that the return of serve is almost always a shot made from an awkward stance.
Did not take that many photos as if you do you aren't watching the tennis.
Top ten couches - Pairs #10
Starting a new series of photos with two couches in them on my blog alexbrzcouches.com .
I accidentally posted here, but will keep just in case you do not know about it. I like how they can be side by side,back to back, one behind the other, facing each other and even other configurations. This is how they are ending their long relationship together.

start with a tie to get an extra one in - as the one above taken on February 9, 2012 may have already have been posted. Below from November 15, 2010
Four More Photos from the Eglise Saint Denis
a few more of my typical type of photos from the church
at the Eglise Saint Denis
We recently went to a garden party, but prior to our serious eating and drinking, our host Diane took us to see the Saint Denis Church in Saint Denis sur Richelieu. The first photo is of her testing out the pulpit with one of its famous paintings in the background. We had a guided tour and I always recommend having one of these when you can, as it makes the visit much more interesting. The photos below are a couple of my favorites.
at the beach in Shediac
the gang, and below my nephew's son and my daughter.
We were incredibly lucky with the weather and were able to spend a lot of time at the beach, where naturally they all became subject matter.
