By the US Embassy in Ottawa

I do not like the US embassy in Ottawa. Amidst a lot of interesting and beautiful architecture in Ottawa it seems like a fortress, designed to intimidate and push people away.

Isolation Revisited

· Leave a comment ·

In a recent post I posted a Smartphone/Hipstamatic image of a man sitting on his own in a coffee shop in Ottawa. While there I took a film shot with a wide angle lens for a different view, still emphasizing the isolation.

Dark Times

Today’s post is a set of photographs I took at the National Holocaust Memorial in Ottawa. The Memorial is a stark reminder of the depths mankind can sink to, and for me at least the dark skies point to dangerous times ahead.

Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré

On our recent vacation in Quebec City we checked out the shrine of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré on a grey rainy day. These two images were originally taken using Kodak Ultramax 400 colour negative film, but I prefer them as black and white images.
