The Perfect Imperfections Series

It’s a new year, it’s a new start. It would be nice if someone could turn up the light. Thanks.

Lighting Up 2021

Memories of my last trip before COVID-19 are poping up in my head. Time flies. It was in Cuba. 

Memories of Cuba

The first really cold days are here, right now. -18C. IT’s only the beginning.

Cold Days

Winter is coming

Lights Action

There is some light at the end if you keep moving forward… don’t look back, look straight ahead.

The Corridor 

Please, do me a favour: press the white button, would you? Let’s see what happens.

White Button

I never pray. A cross is a geometric form. It can be a target too. It has no particular meaning by itself. 

The Cross

During these hard times, which we don’t know when it will end, the only thing to do is prey. 

Pray

Captured from a fast moving train without paying too much attention to the final results. I love open spaces.

The Field

If you could represent the way we remember scenes in our dreams, the way pictures looked in our heads, that would be like this. 

Dream Flashback

A visual effect of the pandemic on old hospitals under siege with Covid-19 patients. 

Breathing Building 

Looking through the coloured windows makes you think life is still good these days, isn’t?

Coloured View

They came before us but now they are all gone. That’s the way life goes. 

All Gone

That’s Montreal’s downtown under a cloudy sky as seen from the top of Mont-Royal.

Cloudy City

Old man walking down the stairs in order to catch the metro. Where is he from? Where was he going?

Walking Shadow

Cemeteries are not always an easy subject but when they are, it can be a rewarding experience. 

The Cemetery 

A wood cabin is standing alone in the woods near our chalet. That is a spooky view of it.

Spooky Cabin

How many walls will we have to face this year, next year or in the next decade? 

The Wall

Brutalist architecture. Some people like it, others hate it. I tend to like it because it reminds me of the sixties.

Brutalist Architecture

I like this one. It feels like summer time.

Minimalism

I see this fresco every time I go for a bike run. Each time, I look at it and want to give it a name. I’m still searching. 

Fresco

I had this bad dream where everyone was gone. Nowhere to be found. Empty playgrounds. Empty parks. 

I had a bad dream 

What are they seeing actually? Are they seeing the light at the end of the tunnel? 

Look over there!

Dear followers and believers, I have something to say: I can’t help you with 2020. Sorry.

Can’t Help You

Sometimes, an image is worth a thousand words. 

Abuse Inc.

What a great way to go through these rough times. Consume as much as you can, and as often as you can.

Consume Love

It’s the only thing to do for them right now even if I’m not religious. It’s better than forgetting about us.

Prey for us

This is what I envision when thinking about the US right now. Dark horizon, no guiding rails. Not looking good. 

Dark Horizon

Remains of a glorious past, the tower serves no more purpose other than to be photographed by people like me.

The Tower

Her body. Her choice. But she left a long time ago. She won’t be able to say so. Here, for her. Her choice. Respect. 

My Choice

There was a time, in 1986, a bike lost its license plate. We never found the bike. 

1986

It was a perfect day but then clouds came in. Yet, it made the sky look like a piece of abstract art. Snap.

Cloudy Sky

On which side of the fence are you standing? Whichever side you are, looking through it makes you feel bad. 

The Fence

This rusty place is well known, frequently visited by so many explorers... except me. 

Rusty Place

A space underground allowing to move from one place to another without the sun, with now way of knowing our localisation.

The Tube

Behind the trees, up there, between the clouds, there this thing we call the sun. Think about this if you feel bad. 

Some Sun

Don’t be fooled, every abandoned places has some secret views that only us, urban explorers, know how to reveal!

Apocalyptic View

This weird old and quite imperfect building is great for this series. Loving the spooky look results.

Two Angels

Deep within abandoned places, just looking up can reveals strange structures in need of attention.

Tubes & Light

Cuba offers great beaches and sunsets. I just don’t know when we will be able to get there again. 

Sunset Beach

They left in a hurry, before the virus took over. Two months later, it’s still an empty place with no life. 

The Playground 

Probably the closest metaphor to the current reality. 

Tunnel Vision

After more than two months in confinement, with rules relaxing a bit, it seems like light is in sight.

Light in Sight

Sign of the times. More and more of these can be found in urban landscape. Sad to see people not caring. 

Lost Glove

Nobody knows exactly what this curious structure is all about. It got my attention.

Curious Structure

Day after day, before the virus, trains were jammed packed of people going to work. Not anymore.

Waiting Train

Standing there forever, looking at people walking this trail and visited many times by urban explorers.

Concrete Monster

A city celebrating memories of one of its best ambassador, artist, human. We will never forget. Ever. RIP.

Leonard Cowen

From the top of the mountain, a calm city waiting for people to come back to work, go out and enjoy life.

Confined City

There this abandoned boat located in the old-Montreal, sitting there to pose for the tourists. I cane across one day and found some inspiration.

The Engineer Room
