Bakers

I love Portraits. I love Portraits of strangers. Even more when I ask them if I can take a picture of them and they say yes with a smile. And even more when they get interested about what i’m doing.
These two persons are the owners of the bakery right next to my apartment. Really nice people, I always go there to get my dough to make home made pizzas. One day I had my K1000 and decided to ask Gilbert if I could photograph him and he asked me “why do you want my picture?” with a smile. I told him that it was just for fun, that it was my hobby, my passion.I took the picture then we talked for a while about the neighborhood, his bakery etc. etc..
One other day I had my Minolta Hi-Matic 2 Point-and-Shoot camera to test it out (I had it for like 3-4 years on my shelf and never tried it!) and had to go there so I took her portrait.
Here’s the couple !

First picture: Pentax K1000/50mm – HP5+ 400iso
Second Picture: Minolta Hi-Matic2 – Delta 100iso pushed to 200.

Mixed ages

Yes! I just got my adaptor for my 5DmkII to put on Om Lenses!
these pictures aren’t Street Photo connected but I just wanted to test it out!
I often use my smaller cameras (Pentax K1000, OM-1, Fuji x100 etc..) to shoot street photography but sometimes my 5D is fun to use too.
Plus I didn’t have a 50mm lens for my digital cameras.
I also have a 28mm.
This gon’ be a lot of fun!

In July 2013 I spent a few days skating and shooting with my old friend Antoine and phil among with others.
Couple guys from the states went down to shoot in Montreal. I had the chance to shoot some with Jake Johnson and Yonnie Cruz.
They very talented skateboarders and as a skater myself (Well… I used to skate more in my young days (yeah at 24 i’m an old man)) I liked to shoot them skating but as a photographer I was more attracted to shooting anything else.
