Montreal Harbour
Two Mamiya C330s with 65 mm lenses 1999
Too much water in front for my liking but we can see the Rubber Company of Canada, Molson’s Brewery and the pizza is the French and English Canadian radio broadcasting company CBC, and the effects of atmospheric perspective in the blue haze covering the downtown area.

Notre Dame de Bonsecours
In old Montreal, photographed using two Mamiya C-330 cameras with 65 mm. lenses on a Manfrotto tripod. I used a twin cable release to trip the shutters in near synch. Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours (“Our Lady of Good Help”) Chapel, a church in the district of Old Montreal. One of the oldest churches in Montreal, it was built in 1771 over the ruins of an earlier chapel. In 1849, Mgr. Ignace Bourget, Bishop of Montreal, gave the chapel a statue of the Virgin as Star of the Sea, which was placed atop the church overlooking the harbor. In the 19th century, the chapel came to be a pilgrimage site for the sailors who arrived in the Old Port of Montreal; they would make offerings to the Virgin in gratitude for her “good help” for safe sea voyages.
