I'm having a second showing of the photo exhibit TONIGHT, Monday, April 30, from 8-10pm.
The exhibit is at Studio Dance Conmigo in the L-Corridor building, 3655 St-Laurent. The studio is on the 2nd floor, #207, up the stairs, to the right, first door on your right.
You can check out the photos in the show in a previous post here.
This is the last week these photos will be up. If you can't make it on Monday, but would still like to see the photos, or if you have other questions, feel free to call me at 514-436-3600.
Cheers,

'School Daze' Group Show
Future TunnelsChicago, Illinois. 2004

w/ digital manipulations, 2007
On March 31st I took part in a group show called School Daze at a new gallery just starting up upstairs from a hip downtown clothing store. You can read about the show on the store's blog here. These two photos I tweaked for the show are one piece called "Future Tunnels." It's a couple of shots from the part of Chicago's "El" Train system where it goes underground downtown. I used Photoshop to blast up the colors and also to add some halftone screen dots and lines. I framed them in a used screen print frame that had a lot of green emulsion stains on it. Looked pretty good, but would have been better if the photos were bigger - I only printed 5x7's. Next time....

Montreal Winter 2007
Winter Trees with Sunset FireMontreal, Quebec. 2007
Frozen Pond in Parc LaFontaineMontreal, Quebec. 2007
Naked Winter TreesMontreal, Quebec. 2007
This was a strange winter, coming in January and ending in mid-April. It's hard to believe but these photos were taken just a few weeks ago after a big snowstorm that turned out to be not even our last. Parc La Fontaine, where these photos were made, is one of the city's nicest parks any time of year. In winter the large pond freezes to become a skating rink, the rolling hills provide slopes for sledders, and the trees show off all their vascular glory.

"This photo exhibition attempts to bring joy back into our daily commutes. Whether for work or leisure, traveling through the city easily becomes a mundane routine when done over and over, back and forth, year after year. But it doesn't have to be.
In Dance of Life: Daily Movements, the viewer sees people in the midst of their daily activities. The most important aspect of these photos is not the actual but the potential. By the very medium of the photograph, time and movement have been frozen, the actual time it took for each scene to be captured on film was a fraction of a second. Each prompts the viewer to consider what happens next. We see an open subway door, who will walk through before it closes? Will April's bare feet touch the dirty street or go back in their shoes? What direction will the women walking her dog take next?
The focus in these photos is on the places, often beautiful and stage-like, within which these actions take place. Each scene asks us to reflect upon our own travels, to reconsider them as opportunities for joyous bodily expression in multi-layered and exciting public spaces. These photos ask the viewer to consider multiple potential actions while travelling through the city. What happens when our daily movements become a dance?"
