Symbolic Shots From the Vault - Part One




I thought I would take my entire array of photography and try to place some of my favorite shots and the meaning behind them. This is the fist attempt in doing so. I never really did get that much into photography until three years ago and then it really came to be something that I wish I had many years earlier but lets see how this goes.

I have never saved my pictures on my computer I literally save them online. These are 86 that I was going over the main theme within most of these are this very area of peace and it come from two cities.

There rest I shall do my best to explain however I literally loved going out on a shot and there is a story behind nearly every picture. I don't think I am the greatest photographer however to me it's like art.

So with a smile these are a few. There is a theme somewhere within all of these.

    like Europe and yet it was Quebec...

  29. There is a place in Montreal that is the home of what was declared a Saint this year. Everyone would sign this book and make a prayer of some kind at that time I had got the news that my father could no longer recieve chemo after all the years that he has done it. I signed it with the prayer from a son to a father.

  38. Symbolism - Technology
    This was the first time that Google had sent out some people to map out the city here. Mind you they did run into problems legally as they did not get permission to come in and take pictures which is the normal procedure however they would contract poeple and they would travel around and avoid the police and as soon as I took two pictures of this one while I was leaving a shopping center and returning to my car I could not resist - how fast he took off the google sticker on his car and drove off so quickly but it now most all towns and cities within Canada are within Google and Google Map.
