Photo Monday: Squamish Session

Photo Monday

With the National Bouldering Championships this weekend, I didn’t have time to do any photo experiments. I did have the opportunity to take a ton of shots during the comp, which I will post on the site this week. So, for this week’s Photo Monday (i know it’s Tuesday!), I thought I would share more photos from my Vancouver trip. This time around, there are some of my favourite bouldering photos. To see more photos from the Vancouver trip, go see my flickr page.

Avec les Championnats Nationaux de bloc en fin de semaine, je n’ai vriament pas eu le temps de faire des expériences de photos. Par contre, j’ai eu la chance de pouvoir prendre plein de photos de la compétition, que je vais vous montrer cette semaine, lorsque j’aurais eu le temps de les éditer. Donc, pour le Photo Monday de cette semaine, j’ai pensé vous partager quelques photos de mon voyage à Vancouver (encore!). Cette fois-ci, ce sont mes photos préférés de grimpe. Pour voir tous les photos du voyage a Vancouver, allez voir mon site flickr.

Photo Monday: Birds

Photo Monday

More photos from the Vancouver trip! I tried a couple of experiments this weekend and they didn’t quite work out the way I wanted them to. So instead, I thought I would share some of my bird shots, in honour of all this wonderful Spring weather we’ve been having. Enjoy!

Voici encore quelques photos de mon voyage à Vancouver. J’ai essayé quelques expériences en fin de semaine et je n’ai pas vraiment eu les résultats espérés. J’ai donc pensé que j’allais partager quelques photos d’oiseaux en l’honneur de la belle température printanière dont nous profitons ces jours-ci. J’espère que vous aller aimez!

Il n’y a pas de nouvelles photos pour l’instant, mais voici un lien pour les photos que j’ai prises à Vancouver. Je vais ajouter des photos bientôt!

Simon Hoegsberg: Street Photography

Photographer Profiles

A while ago I stumbled upon a pretty cool photo project by Simon Høgsberg, a freelance photographer based in Copenhagen, Denmark. The title of the article I was reading about him was “Did Simon Hogsberg Shoot the Widest Photo Ever Taken?” and the title of the photo is We’re All Gonna Die (click on the link to see the full picture!). The goal of the project, according to the artist, was not to scare his audience, but to help us realize how special life really his and to remind us to live life to the fullest! Take your time to look carefully at the photo; it’s full of interesting details. I particularly like the guy with the baby in a sling.

Il y déjà quelques semaines j’ai eu la chance de découvrir un projet photo assez hors de l’ordinaire. Le titre de l’article est “Est-ce que Simon Hogsberg a pris la photo la plus large du monde?” (Voyez par vous-meme en clicquant sur la photo en haut!). En fait, c’est plutôt le sujet ordinaire qui rend ce projet vraiment interessant. Le photographe est Simon Høgsberg, qui vit à Copenhague au Danemark. Le projet s’intitule We’re All Gonna Die, ce qui veut dire “Nous allons tous mourrir”. Le but du projet, d’après Simon n’était pas de faire peur aux gens, mais plutôt de nous faire réaliser que nous devrions toujours profiter de la vie au maximum! Quelle belle philosophie!!

Make sure you check the many projects Simon has on his personal site. In the meantime, check out one of my personal favourites:
