I find it important to look back on old images. Your style changes, your eye changes, your processing style changes. And hey, it is just fun to revisit old memories through images. On this St-Patrick’s day, I decided to look back on the images of my 2012 trip to Ireland. My life was in a… Continue reading Revisting Ireland 6 years later | Montreal Photographer

Anti-austerity protest
The one thing you can count on when the weather gets warm are protests in the streets of Montreal.

In the cold… Continue reading Discovering Montreal – La Nuit Blanche | Montreal Event Photographer
Ye Old Honeymoon Resort | Urbex Photography
It has been a while since I have had the chance to head on out and explore some long forgotten places. Seems that in Montreal, the city has decided to crack down on abandoned places and 6-7 spots have been demolished in the last 6 months. With the rise of popularity of urban exploring (aka… Continue reading Ye Old Honeymoon Resort | Urbex Photography
Iceland rises, sets and rays | Travel Photographer
There is nothing like waking up in the morning in the chilly Icelandic air watching the sun rise over the horizon. We had rented a camper in Iceland to give us the flexibility to park near the areas where we wanted to photograph either a sun rise or a sun set. Well, that was… Continue reading Iceland rises, sets and rays | Travel Photographer

Road Trip Diaries | Detroit’s Heidelberg Project
It was after my first trip to Detroit last year that I was introduced to the Heidelberg project. I found it such an interesting initiative in a city not really known for it’s urban beauty, more for it’s urban decay. What is the Heidelberg project? Well, you can check out their website and Facebook, but… Continue reading Road Trip Diaries | Detroit’s Heidelberg Project
Tips for shooting in an unknown area
I decided to title the post unknown instead of abandoned, as these tips kind of apply to any situation. As I love exploring forgotten buildings, I am often faced with a rush of artistic inspiration when I first walk it. And it is quite easy to get overwhelmed and not really know what to shoot.… Continue reading Tips for shooting in an unknown area
A day in the Old Port | Diary of a photowalk
It was such an amazingly sunny day this Sunday in Montreal. My friend Ron asked if myself and my girlfriend Danielle were free to for heading down to the Old Port to check out the clocktower.

Hitting the hills | urbex
What happens when one huge resort gets millions of dollars of investments and grows both financially and in international popularity? The other ski resorts in the area suffer. And some, like this 100 year old resort, end up closing it’s doors. It has been abandoned since 2009. Remnants of them trying to recoup as much… Continue reading Hitting the hills | urbex
Hidden Resort | Rural Photography
One of the reason I love to explore old buildings is finding links to the past. When a building has furniture, decor and other artifacts left by it’s occupants, you feel like you are stepping back in time. As many kids in the 1980s, when they found the wreckage in 1985, I couldn’t get enough… Continue reading Hidden Resort | Rural Photography
Finding abandoned places – in 5 steps | Montreal Urbex
It seems that every time I post an image of an old farm house, abandoned factory or a long forgotten mansion, I get a few emails asking me where the place is.
This Old House | Rural Quebec
I’ve posted a few of these on my Facebook page (what, not following me there? Shame on you!) but realised that I never posted up the entire set. This was a great find that my girlfriend spotted while we were driving to the Help Portrait event in Lac Megantic. Off the side of the road,… Continue reading This Old House | Rural Quebec
Le “Mont Radar” | Urban Exploration
With the weather hovering around the -28c (-19f) in the city, we decided to take a drive on a beautiful sunny late December day and go find an old abandoned military radar station we had been talking about for a little while. Who needs to be all cozy in a blanket watching a movie, right?
Remnants of a lost town | Rural Exploration
While researching places to go exploring in the country side, my girlfriend found this little church a little over an hour north of Montreal.

Travel inspirations | Keeping a diary
I’m constantly thinking of ways to document my travels. Through photos, videos, a mix, words… anything. I love seeing people take creative ways in documenting their journeys. I find this video from Chris Rehage really inspirational. I love the mix of single photos and multiple photos on single days. You see some of the people… Continue reading Travel inspirations | Keeping a diary
Abandoned Manor | Montreal urbex
Last weekend, my girlfriend and I decided to get a double dose of urban exploration. We first hit up an old military heating centre in the south shore of Montreal and then headed north of the island to a place we had been wanting to go for some time… an abandoned manor.
Montreal at night | Urban Photography
I haven’t had the time to walk the streets of my favorite city in a while. And even though they were calling for cold, wind and rain, figured I’d call up a friend and pound the pavement looking for some interesting photo ops. The recent time change has it that the sun has already set… Continue reading Montreal at night | Urban Photography
