Blue Metropolis Literary Festival

For the sixth straight year, I was lucky enough to be the official photographer for the Blue Metropolis International Literary Festival, held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Montreal, Canada.


This years Literary Grand Prize winner was Michel Tremblay, the renowned Quebec playwrite and novelist.

Other important authors included Margaret MacMillan (above), author of Paris 1919: Six Months That Changed the World and Peter C. Newman (below), controversial author of The Secret Mulroney Tapes: Unguarded Confessions of a Prime Minister.

Chateau Vaudreuil

One of my favourite places to photograph weddings is the Chateau Vaudreuil, located just off the western tip of the island of Montreal.

It's popular with brides and grooms as well. Food and beverage manager Roberto Teodori recently confided that Chateau Vaudreuil hosts over 300 weddings per year. And it's not hard to see why.

An impressive building overlooking the St. Lawrence River, the Chateau Vaudreuil is surrounded by magnificent gardens, the food is great and the staff is warm and helpful.

For more information, contact Roberto Teodori at (450) 455-1198.

Photos from Dawon College Graduating Students

One thing that brings me great pleasure is my part-time teaching position at Montreal's Dawson College, where I teach Commercial Photography. My students continuously inspire with their enthusiasm and creativity, and push me to become a better and better photographer.

Some of my students will graduate in the next few weeks. Two students to watch out for are Dylan Ellis, whose gorgeous "Meghan on the Rooftop" shot is above, and Ashlee Lynn, who hopes to become a police photographer. Ashlee's photo, of the Montreal skyline at dusk, is below.


Good luck to all of you! I wish you all the best, and hope you all become fabulously successful photographers.
