Montreal (Post 1)

I’ve recently returned from Montreal with a small mountain of new images and resources. Ah… inspiration is a refreshing change of pace. All people who travel devour their destinations by acquiring different material goods as evidence of the attempts to understand the  place to which they have traveled. Some people acquire shotglasses. Others postcards. I personally get to know a city through the designs that permeate through its public and private spaces. I spent most of my brief parole from MPLS grabbing, ripping, and buying printed matter. Through the above materials, I came just a bit closer to getting acquainted with Montreal… a bit of typography obsession mixed with a love and fascination with 1960s Utopian ideals… that will (hopefully) equal some decent artwork.

Getting back to my series of photographs of depressing, bleak, and under-used public spaces. This goodie is from the tail-end of last winter in Duluth, MN.

There are preciously few people that I actually enjoy being around. My friends Haley and Matt just happen to be two of them. As you know, I normally hesitate when taking photographs of others of my species, however, shooting these two was rather enjoyable! They’re starting up a new food/restaurant/dining blog… details to follow soon!
