Old Montreal
I spent one afternoon roaming around the streets of Old Montreal with my friend Hassan who is currently visiting from UAE. The neighborhood pretty much resembles architecture from Beirut, which is pretty obvious considering they were both historically French colonies.
Laura G – A Portrait Session at Jean Drapeau
Not long ago I planned to have my next portrait session at the delightful Parc Jean Drapeau, and my nice friend Laura was kind enough to help make that happen.
