The Third Place
The “Grand Stair” at the newly redesigned and renovated National Arts Centre in Ottawa. Seemingly, this grand stair - with its riser seating - has become a popular third place (a social environment distinct from the home - the first place, and the workplace - the second place) for students’ and professionals alike - many of whom were engaged in social and/or personal activities during our visit.
"Originally opened in 1969, a two-years belated centennial birthday gift to Canada, and designed by Fred Lebensold of Affleck, Desbarats, Dimakopoulos, Lebensold, Sise, the existing building was a brutalist masterpiece." Today, the main public areas of the building - the atrium and mezzanine levels - are airy light-filled spaces, which overlook Confederation Square and the Chateau Laurier - in short, the view is magnificent.

Photography is a play with light and shadows ... An effort to capture as accurately as possible the miniscule amount of light that exists in the atmosphere, transforming the objects that it showers into a meaningful, visually interesting image ... And last but not least, photography is all about capturing something dead and serve a living, breathing, interesting to look at scene in its place ...

Palpatine is planning another secret mission for his elite group of hand picked troopers, Paplatine's Alpha Niner Tactical Squadron, and has ordered Stormtrooper Bruce to prepare another survival skills class within the week. STB gathers up his friends and drags them across the galaxy, searching uncharted planets for the best hostile environment available.

Stormtrooper Bruce: OK guys, this place has possibilities. There's snow to melt for water, trees to provide wood for burning and shelter, and animal tracks - so there's game. But still, this might not be challenging enough for those fancy pants.
TK-432: Are you joking? Dis place is horrible! I'm frreeezin. I tink my enviromentl adjustr is brokin. Cant even talk.
Boba Fett: Dude. You can't be calling The P's elite group "fancy pants." If they hear you, they'll put their special skills to work and make you disappear. Forever!
STB: For the last time, it's P.A.N.T.S. And they love being called Palpatine's Fancy Pants.
TK-432: It's betr than beein calld Palpateens undrpants.
TK-1110: Knowing you, there's an hidden insult in there by calling them fancy pants. Right?
STB: What? No way. Would I do that?
Fett: Guys, we can debate what to call them later. What do you think about this planet? Let's make a decision so we can get off of here!
TK-432: Its horrrrbl. It'z the fourth plantae we'b visstde. I wanna leave. Kan't feel mi lips.
TK-1110: I'm with Mumbles here, this is the worst one you've dragged us to. First the desert one, then the water one, the double gravity one and now this ice box that goes on forever. For the love of the Emperor, why are we even here? Can't you, Mr Survival Skills Master, pick something suitable on your own?
STB: Actually, I do think this is the best one. I just needed to see which one would test your limits and make all of you start whining. And this is it! Geez, you're all such a bunch of babies.

Striated Heron

It's amazing how seamlessly this Striated Heron dissolves into the rugged textures of its rocky environment.
The environment we are living in for the next five months is a number of metal tubes connected together, and we consume endlessly recycled air and water, living in artificial lighting. Our home in space is a marvel of technology and it is a huge achievement that engineers built a structure that supports seven people in the most harsh environment we know – radiation, intense cold and heat, vacuum and no air await us behind the thin walls of our modules. We can look down at our planet that offers everything life needs to survive. See the thin blue line that turns green on the night-time photo? That is our atmosphere that protects us from space. The International Space Station provides for everything we need to survive, but so does "Spaceship Earth". We get to see our amazing planet out of the windows, but when you miss something you really realise how important it is. #WorldEnvironmentDay
Mon environnement pour les 5 prochains mois est un ensemble de cylindres métallique reliés entre eux, dans lequel on consomme sans fin le même air et la même eau sous une lumière artificielle. Notre maison dans l’espace est une merveille de technologie. C’est une prouesse d’avoir réussi à construire une structure qui permet de faire vivre 7 personnes dans l’environnement le plus hostile qu’on connaisse : des radiations, des variations de températures extrêmes, du vide, l’absence d’oxygène… c’est tout ce qui nous attend derrière les parois des modules. D’ici on peut observer notre planète, qui offre tout ce dont les êtres vivants ont besoin pour subsister. Vous voyez cette mince line bleue sur la photo ? C’est l’atmosphère que nous protège de l’espace. La Station spatiale internationale fournit laborieusement tout ce qu’il faut pour survivre, quand notre vaisseau Terre le fait naturellement.

This collection presents a breathtaking journey through diverse terrestrial biomes, reimagining the raw beauty of our planet through a synthetic lens. From the ethereal golden mists of a waking forest and the crystalline clarity of alpine rivers to the jagged, volcanic scars of primordial lands and the vibrant, sun-drenched cathedrals of coral reefs. Each environment is a study in light, texture, and atmospheric depth, blending hyper-realistic detail with a touch of the sublime. These landscapes explore the intersection of classical nature photography aesthetics and the boundless possibilities of modern generative tools, offering a contemplative look at worlds both familiar and imagined.
