False symmetry

#fensterfreitag #windowfriday #snow #quebec #photography

Photograph of two very simple windows side by side, just rectangular frames in a wall. Window on the left shows a focused image of green trees with snow falling but the frame and handles inside are blurred. Window on the right has the same view but blurred, with the frame and handles inside in focus. The eyes are going from left to right expecting to see the same thing but are deceived.

A man and four kids can be seen in the foreground.

Photograph of conifers near a stream, growing directly on moss-covered rocks. The lower part of the spruce branches is rather bare, and the sun penetrates the forest to the ground.

“A monochrome winter landscape featuring a snowy field with visible footprints leading across the snow. Sparse vegetation and trees are present in the background, with a misty atmosphere fading into the horizon.”

Pole overexposure

#monochrome #blackandwhite #noiretblanc #forest #quebec #winter #photography

Black and white photograph of a power line with "T" poles along a rural road, going down through forest and snow fields.

Tough day for photography. Strong wind, snow and sun in teary eyes, I couldn't see what I was doing. I thought those were not that good but on second thought I like them like that.

The "Wave" update : Between seasons

Or is it all the seasons in one? Blue, white, green and some orange and brown. Bonus : There's a hidden deer.

#wavywednesday #photography #seasons #spring #nature #forest #repetition #quebec

Photograph of a hilly green field, partially covered by white snow, and bordered by a forest of leafless trees and green conifers, coming like a wave from the left of the picture, under a pale blue sky with discreet horizontal white clouds.

There's a deer hidden in the photo, right in the middle at the edge of the field, very close to the forest, brown against green.

Black and white photograph of a cove with a sandy beach on the right, the sea on the left, and a village in the background bordered by forest. A woman and two dogs walk on the sand as they walk away.

New book on the history of McGill University - written and edited by historians, not the university's comms department. I wrote a chapter on how Indigenous dispossession and colonial politicians saved McGill when it was in danger of going broke. Others cover McGill's ties to chattel slavery, Japanese exclusion, research of various sorts, student lives, queer experiences, and more.

Check it out: https://www.mqup.ca/mcgill-in-history-products-9780228025924.php

A cream and red book on a desk. It features two black-and-white photos of McGill in the nineteenth-century, one zoomed in and the other in a broad view.
