Now i love urban photo!!!*10pics*

[Alexandra]

...I wasn't that much into it until today, but now i discovered it's really awesome!
Basically, I followed the same street from downtown to the Radio-Canada building (Corinna, i was thinking of you ), which makes a looooong straight walk, but hell i loved it!

So, here are the pics. AND, for the sake of the concept, they're in chronological order! So, if you walk down La Gauchetiere street, you'll see all of this, in this order... so this is like a virtual walk you're taking here... okay, it's not, but i hope you enjoy
(sorry again for the 10 of them... i just didn't feel like splitting them in 2 threads...)

1. the only b&w of the buch. come on, i had to get at least one!

2. Downtown! I really liked the reflections here. oh, and i cloned a street lamp out... lemme know if you can find any traces of it, cause i can and i wonder if it's just cause i've seen the original... (and i don't mean the one at the bottom... i can see it and i don't mind it being there )

3. the incredibly incredible pink building

4. Just liked the facade here

5.

6. at a certain point, the street runs through chinatown. twas funny, cause you usually see chinease and japanese tourists out and about, but here it was the opposite, felt funny

7. I didn't notice my camera was set on selective coloring, but then i came to like the effect.

8. yes, in Mtl you can see such stuff in the middle of downtown.

9. what would we do without these antique street lamps, eh? I liked the reflection in this one.

10. (yes, yes. the last one.) Windows within a window... my fave

Great set of images, I really like the one with the guy pushing the hand trolly it captures everyday life nicely I think.
