Walkin' the dog

Look inside that little bag, the realism!  Even the poop has been added to the diagram and the dog is cute.   Who would have thought dog owners were so twit as to not understand the schema of this info.  How "artistiiiikk" of them!

A dog's eye view - Long night

The wee hours of the night after many many crowds, the staff's bikes and the tourists' trash.  Can't even blame them, the outdoor trashcans were full.  Place Jacques Cartier.

The "Flag" in the parc

This statue has been here as long as the parc, that is to say not all that long...I remember a time when the park La Dauversière (right across the street from Montreal city hall) was a yucky concrete parking lot, always full on top and stinky dark and drenched in garbage on the bottom level where the homeless would unfortunately come to rest.  Now the homeless have a great park with nice benches (?) and this infamous statue of our former Maire Drapeau. 

A dog's eye view - Tile border

Finally, another dog's eye view shot.  I loved the mini tile at the bottom of the wall and again...my favorite, the vignetting (I swear, completely unplanned).  I like the green-yellow of the wall and the wood of the door in contrast with the red mini tiles.  Place Royale, east-side, closer to de la Commune they just left the door open!

A dog's eye view - big puddle

I decided to sepia tone this one...I find the reflection in the water interesting.  Taken with the Holga.  Right off Place Royale in Old Montreal.  Should have fresh batch of shots tomorrow..yea!

A dog's eye view - Pooch

This was priceless...couldn't walk by without taking a shot of this gorgeous dog (and with a lomolitos to boot!) last Sunday on St-Catherine's street in front of HMV. His tongue was sticking out as if to say "hey...YOU're the weirdo...I'm just chillin' !"

A dog's eye view - Face right

And here is the other side - face.  Holga shot, last week (Sunday, I believe).  Again, if anyone knows about these, let me know.  On de la Commune, between Place Jacques Cartier and St-Laurent.

A dog's eye view - Face left

At dog-eye level of course, this little graffiti (and its sister - posting tomorrow) has an art feel to it as opposed to strictly a "marking territory" feel. Does anyone know more about them? Again, my trusty Holga. De la Commune East, between Place Jacques Cartier & St-Laurent.

A dog's eye view - Step up!

Depth of field is kinda nice (strictly opinion here!) and the steps in this public place have a nice geometric set-up, not like regular granite stairs...feeling like a dog yet? Yea, I know, where is the quintessential fire hydrant? If I find a nice one, I won't hesitate. Again, this pic taken with the Holga. Place Royale, right behind the boutique of the Pointe-à-Callière Museum.

A dog's eye view - Cast iron sunrises

I like the cobble stones under the windows and the shape of the cast iron window dressing, oh and let's not forget that little bit of greenery coming out between the rocks (yeaa..spring!). The holga worked particularly well in this case, fun depth of field. I'm always surprised at the colours I obtain with this great little plastic toy camera. Definitely a little light leak top right had corner. Connecting alley from Place Royale to St-François Xavier, parallel to and in between St-Paul and De la Commune.
