My Amateur Art & Photo Blog

Montreal is an amazing city, one of my favorite in the world (that I know of anyways). However, parking in this fair city can be troublesome for anyone who doesnt know the rules, even worse than Boston, if you can imagine that. Bonne chance! Signs-  Où puis-je stationner ma voiture? Taken with the  LG Optimus Elite ,  handheld,  no p ost processing.

French Grammar Book Other than photography my other hobby is learning French. Looking back over the year I'm not sure which hobby I've had more success with, have I become a better photographer or a better French speaker over the course of the last twelve months? I think both of those are up for debate ;p Taken with the  LG Optimus Elite , no post processing.

Pinot Noir How can you not drink French wine when doing French lessons, I mean it would be criminal not too, n 'est-ce pas ? Taken with the  LG Optimus Elite , no  post processing.

Arrêt While in Montreal last week I couldn't stop myself (no pun intended!) from purchasing this 'Stop' sign from a gift shop near our hotel in Old Montreal. Tonight I've hung this sign on the door in my home office ;) Taken with the Canon PowerShot SX230HS with on camera flash firing, no post processing other than cropping for size.

J'étudie Le Français I've taken to swotting up on my French on the commute to work on the days I take the train so that I'll be ready to converse with the natives in Montreal later this year when we return for our late summer vacation. Taken with the LG Optimus Elite , no post processing.
