This is a wall in the Old Quebec city, completely painted, called “la Fresque des Québécois”.

Everyday summer days, people are gathering in front of the wall to get their image taken.

I had to do the same…

It is so rewarding when the image that you have in your head is translated into pixels.

I walked in the streets of Montréal for 4 hours, just to find that particular hat.

But the results, are above my expectations.

Thanks Kamilia for posing for us…

Now that Cédric is in the Army I guess this image will go to history.

This is my first trial of Topaz adjust 5. This new version was released yesterday so it’s still hot from the oven.

I always been a fan of Topaz adjust, version 5 allows for more controls, more presets and a refined approach.

I love the way I can play with details when I use it. It can really help to bring subtle details that are harmonized with my compositions.

During our last visit in Quebec City, I have found an excellent caramel at the boutique “Ô Petites Douceurs du Quartier”, 51 Petit-Champlain street.

I told the young girl that I would buy a jar, in exchange, I would take her portrait.

I even had a nice smile for bonus!

I was not supposed to publish this image due to the vulgarity of the gesture (it is called a “schocker” please consult an teenager near you for more explanation), at the same time I found something about the expression, a cross between “I don’t care” and a bit of provocation.

Since I like expression that are out of the ordinary…

Here we are, my son Cédric joined the Canadian forces Saturday. A big change in his life, in our life.

Before taking him to the base, we promised each other we would do a photo shoot, if there is a time when my son and I really enjoy being together, it is during these wild photo sessions. Cédric is not a model, rather an accomplice.

Furthermore, my daughter Val took the shot and my wife Lise was in the background, supervising, a real family affair.

We did the shot under a railway bridge in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue. With our “look of the day”, tree flashes and a ladder, we didn’t go “unnoticed”.

To be noted, neither my son and I are smokers, it was part of my concept. Cédric was a bit “greenish” at the end. Thank God, he brought some Halls lozenges, what a nasty taste, berk.

The concept: Cédric wanted to make it’s entry to the base with the longest possible hairs, so the army barber could have a good time. I also spotted a wig at the “Dollar” store that strangely fitted the length and colour of Cédric. Bingo…

I can’t stop looking at this image, you will understand that it means a lot to me.

Good luck my Son, I am so proud of you…
