The Montreal Gazette newspaper is the only English language daily in Montreal. We have been trying to stop getting it in our home for a long time now. Every time we cancel, the telemarketers call back with a better offer than the last. We were down to 6 cents an issue, but felt that the news is rarely good and we were never really reading it. It got to the point where we were just tossing the paper directly into the recycle bin without even looking at it. Then I started to collect the rubber bands that bundled the paper together and made a rubber ball out of them. We have finally cancelled entirely this week. This is the last issue we got. Wouldn't you know it, yesterday we got a call with a better offer. I told the lady on the phone that I will accept it. Only keep the paper and just deliver the rubber band. She said. Huh?
Post script: As of last week we're getting the paper for free. Seems that finally they realized that they need us on their subscription list for audited advertising rating more than I need them or I shoulod say the paper. My elastics ball is starting to grow again.

Fallen leaves remind me of the impermanence of life and the life cycle. Although they are dead, they also are the nourishment that feeds the soil thereby helping in the growth of new life.

"Message from Mary S.: The future of the Internet as we know it is at stake. The FCC is proposing rules that would kill the open Internet and create a fast lane for companies that can afford big fees and a slow dirt road for the rest of us. We're fighting back--and we're being heard. This Thursday, May 15, the FCC will meet in Washington, DC, to vote on whether or not to advance this proposal. We'll rally in DC, but we won't stop there: We'll gather at FCC offices in 24 cities to send shockwaves through the FCC bureaucracy until they restore real Net Neutrality and protect the Internet for all of us."

A celebratory gathering in the Mile-End area of the Plateau in Montreal. This event was for the welcoming of the son of a Rabbi from New York. The crowd was huddled together with anticipation, banners and flags. The whole street was a buzz of excitement. I was fortunate to have been invited by a friend who lives near by to witness and record the event.
As I was watching this crowd, my mind traveled to the days of my own forefathers who were Jews living in Eastern Europe and although one hundred plus years ago, they looked and dressed very similarly to the Hassidim living here in Montreal today. But the feeling that stood out the most for me was the fact that although, as a Jew, we share a common heritage, I felt very disconnected and remote from these people. I could hear their chatter and even could understand the Yiddish they were speaking. Yet I found them as curious and as distant from me as any one of the individuals of other cultures in the neighborhood who stood by watching the festivities.

Washington DC, May 15, 2014. Social justice activists rally in front of the FCC to oppose proposed net neutrality rule changes that would essentially end the free and open internet which has worked miraculously well for almost twenty years now. Shortly after noon the FCC voted in favor of considering the odious changes allowing 'pay for play' fast lanes in the internet (and the implied threat of slower speed diminished service for those who don't pony up...), subject to "public comment" which you know will be a sham exercise leading to an already determined conclusion in favor of the big telecoms. This plan was so evil even Amazon and Microsoft signed off on a letter to the FCC opposing it (Apple was missing in action...) but I'm sure it was not for altruistic reasons. Hopefully 'cable' and TV sets will soon be a thing of the past.

A dry leaf landed on this old rusting travel trunk and was held in place by cob web fibers that had tangled together and were permanently embeded in the rusty surface. I liked the way the leaf was aligning with the hole for the missing rivet indicating the shadow caused by the slightly indented metal plane. The colours of the leaf were well coordinated with the mixture of the original paint and the rust of the trunk. The composition was complete and satisfying.

Sanctuary!!!
As Quasimodo cried out, upon the storming of Notre Dame Cathedral by the masses, to protect himself and Esmeralda from their hysteria, so do I scream out, silently as my voice falls on deaf ears in the abandoned, waste of this environmentally hostile site, where the polluting by-products of this facility are slowly seeping down and penetrating the soil underneath. Above there seems to be a false serenity that is reminiscent of the sacredness of a place of worship.
This series of photographs is my reflection on the “sanctity” of religion, as I draw a parallel between it and the secret evils of greed in our society.
An abandoned factory in Lachine Quebec, although now completely demolished, was a haven for young graffiti artists where they could express themselves through their art. It was a safe place for them to do so without interference from police or the law. The space also became a sanctuary and a haven for me, to peacefully explore it in silence. To meditate and capture its spirit in photographs.
