Balance                                   /                                  Équilibre

​Yesterday I wrote that I missed Maple Syrup.
Today I wish I could eat a Smoked Meat Special at Lester's. A day eating healthy, the other day eating "fast food"
Is this not what is called balance.

Hier j’écrivais que le sirop d’érable me manque. Aujourd’hui je mangerais bien un Smoked Meat Special de chez Lester’s. Un jour manger santé, l’autre jour mangé «fast food».
N’est-ce point ça que l’on nomme l’équilibre?
Quelle photo ! Le cuisinier, quand on agrandit, on voit qu'il a une espèce de glamour suranné, on dirait qu'il sort d'un cabaret clinquant... désormais fermé . D'artiste de variété, il s'est retrouvé à faire des smoked meats chez Lesters ! ( Marie-Christine Lévesque)

Padi at sunset                            /                              Padi À La Fin Du Jour ​

This is a photograph of a «Padi».
When rice is growing it is called «Beras» and when it is in your plate the Indonesians name it «Nasi».

Ceci est une photo de «Padi».
​Lorsque le riz poussera on le nommera «Beras» et lorsqu’il sera dans votre assiette les Indonésiens le nomment «Nasi»

The train ride from Sept-Iles to Schefferville takes more than 6 hours.
I had been on the train less than one hour when I took out the Leica from my camera bag. This man looked at me and said:« if you want to photograph the people on this train, you must first talk with us, don’t just go around snapping pictures.
​ We want to know about you and you should know a bit about us.
That day I learned an important lesson.
