Big day today, our son now “belongs” to the Canadian Forces.

This morning we had an information session about the life in the army. Then we witness the ceremony where the new recruits sworn in for the Forces.

After completing his basic training (which will begin in 2 weeks), Cédric will join the Navy as a “Naval communicator”.

It was nice to see these people, ready to do the sacrifices to take control of their destiny.

We are so proud of Cédric, it was a lot of emotions for us, above all, we are so proud of him!

“You the Man” Ced!

L'assermentation de Cédric

His passion for fishing is incredible.

So, he is well prepared for the toxicity of the Saint-Lawrence waters.

And he does not eat his catches, which are glowing in the dark.

Just when I thought I would return to more “classic” photographie with my Nikon, the iPhone takes the stage.

Indeed I don’t control anything, photography leads the way.

Here is an interpretation of a vitrine of a store downtown Montreal.

Essay on minimalist subject. Simplicity has a price, it took a couples of hours to realize this image. No complaints, it’s a lot fun…

Lake Saint-Louis

This image was taken from the Aumais bay at Notre-Dame-de-l’Ile-Perrot.

In theory this is the last image produce with the Old Macbook, I just received my new Macbook Pro and will start to produce more images with my Nikon from now on. It just got to painfully slow to produce images with a 5 years old machine.

This is also my first production with Silver Efex pro 2. Wow, what a program, it will take me some time to master it, incredible potential here.

I won’t stop shooting with the iPhone, just slow down it photo usage. I learned a lot with it, having such a little resolution and not much details capabilities, it all about emotion in the image.

So tomorrow I will use the migration assistant to move all my data and programs to my new machine and then, my photography will take another twist…

The Jean-Talon open market in Montreal is renown for the fresh fruits and vegetables and a little bit for the music…

A small sailboat passing by Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue. Reminded me of an old song that my Mom use to sing to me when I was young: La chanson du petit voilier .
