Switch Flip Noseslide

Montreal 2014

I’ve know Chris for quite a while, since around the new millennium.
He never grew up… In every kind of ways. He’s always been that crazy kid that just rolls around hittin’ anything and always just commits.
This is the best example. We were cruising’ around looking for spots and we stopped there. at first I was on top of the staircase smoking a cig and didn’t even realized that someone was skating. Then I saw him jumping on this but didn’t really pay attention.
Then I realized that it was a SWITCH kickflip noseslide on the sketchiest steepy not really waxed ledge.

He landed it like 3 times, one for the long lens, one for the fisheye and one to film it.

Yeah, that’s Chris St-cyr.

Canon 5DmkII 15mm f/2.8 and 70-200mm f/4

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 !
