DESCRIPTION: I captured this photo out of the window of the hotel that I was staying at. Every year for a number of years in my early 20’s I would take 3 days a year and drive up to this particular hotel to write. It was like a little mini writing vacation for me. The hotel was amazingly cheap and it was right on the main drag of Montreal’s downtown strip. It was located between all the strip clubs and nightlife. The hotel room had no T.V., and the bathroom was a shared bathroom on each floor. It had a sink and a bed and an electric outlet, which was all I needed to plug in my lap top computer. It had a great view of Saint Catherine’s Street from above. I captured this photo on a cold winter night. I digitally manipulated it to show the relief and contour of the scenery. It reminded me of what it might have looked like in the 40’s. I was trying to digitally create a scene that appeared to be more surreal than real.
