<p>A man wearing a hat, riding the number 55 bus, on a Sunday, bearing a gift, presumably heading for diner.</p>
<p>A Montreal, a city, moment, I wanted so much to take his picture, I asked, he said yes, we didn’t even talk.</p>
<p>Fifteen minutes later, I ran into him, in some local, slightly run down, karaoke kind-of, bar for retired couples on the Main, apparently, he’s an actor, taking part in the guided tour I myself was about to join in.</p>
<p>Don’t ask me why, it’s these little moments that make me love Montreal.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Portraits of Donovan King I made for the latest issue of <a title="Maisonneuve Magazine - The Antagonist" href="http://maisonneuve.org/pressroom/article/2012/apr/2/antagonist/">Maisonneuve</a>. This is their 10th anniversary issue and, as usual, it’s loaded with good reading and beautiful art. So BUY IT!</p>
<p>Maisonneuve went with the wide-angle portrait <em>(last one)</em> on a full page to illustrate the article. I explored different frames and angles, brightly lit and from the shadows but this one, I think, works well for the subject.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As for Donovan, he is an actor and an activist. He founded the <a title="Montreal Infringement Festival" href="http://www.infringementfestival.com">Infringement Festival</a> and <a title="Optative" href="http://www.optative.net/">Optative Theatrical Laboratories</a>. He wrote an interesting <a title="Donovan King Thesis" href="http://www.optative.net/ebook.html">thesis</a> on revolutionary theatre, and just plain revolution, titled “A Critical Theory for Challenging Oppression and Spectacle”.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Actuellement au <a title="Musée des Beaux-Arts de Montréal" href="http://www.mbam.qc.ca/fr/index.html" target="_blank">Musée des Beaux-Arts</a> il y a une exposition sur Napoléon. Ce n’est pas exactement la collection du Louvre ou des Invalides, mais pour les amateurs de cette période de l’histoire, c’est à voir.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_831" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://www.patrickalonso.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/napo-0650.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-831" title="Musée des Beaux-Arts de Montréal" src="http://www.patrickalonso.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/napo-0650.jpg" alt="© Patrick Alonso" width="450" height="600" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">© Patrick Alonso</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Bref, parmi la collection on retrouve un portrait, produit par <a title="Wikipedia - François Gérard" href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fran%C3%A7ois_G%C3%A9rard" target="_blank">François Gérard</a>, de Napoléon dans son costume de sacre. La légende indique que l’empereur, tellement épris par ce portrait, en aurait commandé plusieurs répliques pour offrir en cadeau aux dignitaires étrangers.</p>
<p>Moi j’ai trouvé ça très fascinant, offrir un portrait de soi en cadeau à quelqu’un &#8230; ça implique tellement de choses sur plusieurs niveaux à propos de la personne. Du coup je me suis demandé si nos chers leaders contemporains donnaient dans la même pratique, George, Stephen, Vladimir, Nicolas, Kim, Mahmoud et David se renvoient-ils des portraits d’eux-mêmes? Ma réflexion s’est rapidement redirigée sur une question plus importante, moi, pourquoi est-ce que je ne fais pas ça moi envoyer des portraits de moi aux gens après une rencontre &#8230; et encore plus à ceux que je n’aime pas?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_832" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 460px"><a href="http://www.patrickalonso.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/pat-0743.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-832" title="pat-0743" src="http://www.patrickalonso.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/pat-0743.jpg" alt="© Patrick Alonso" width="450" height="600" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">© Patrick Alonso</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
Alors voilà &#8230; si t’en veux une copie, envoie-moi ton adresse par courriel et je te poste un 4&#215;6. Si t’en reçois une copie sans l’avoir demandé &#8230; c’est parce que je pense que t’es crétin.</p>

<div id="attachment_826" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 610px"><a href="http://www.patrickalonso.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/peterbrown_westoflastchance01.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-826" title="peterbrown_westoflastchance01" src="http://www.patrickalonso.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/peterbrown_westoflastchance01.png" alt="© Peter Brown" width="600" height="477" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">© Peter Brown</p></div>
<p>I selected a picture from Peter Brown’s “<a title="Peter Brown - West of Last Chance" href="http://www.petertbrown.com/work/west-of-last-chance/" target="_blank">West of Last Chance</a>” project <em>(above)</em> that really stuck with me over time.</p>
<p>As one commentator put it, singling out one photograph is not easy, there are so many, I could of picked any number of images from James Nachtwey or <a title="RapporteursPhoto" href="http://rapporteursphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/damonwinter_afghanistan01.png" target="_blank">this one</a> from Damon Winter which is layered in meaning, from the camera used to the whole embed <em>(in bed)</em> thing or <a title="RapporteursPhoto" href="http://rapporteursphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/christopheranderson_911-01.png" target="_blank">this one</a> by Christopher Anderson which, to me, reflects a somber vision of the future we seem to be blindly hurtling towards.</p>
<p>One thing I noticed as I mulled over the question of which photo was most powerful to me was that all the ones that came to my mind represented war and oppression, symptoms of the much bigger problem that is the overt and covert control that a select few wield over the masses through Fear &amp; Propaganda.</p>
<p>Church &amp; Oil combine in this photograph to represent two things <em>(Ignorance &amp; Greed)</em> that if humanity could shed itself of would go a long way towards bettering it. I like to boil things down to their most simple elements, it helps my process, and this photograph has that deceptively simple aesthetic that makes it work for me.</p>

<p>Une maison, au sommet de Rimouski, photographiée au mois de décembre dernier. Dès que je l’ai aperçu j’ai pensé <em>« Jeanloup Sieff Alfred Hitchcock »</em>, la journée grise et les rues désertées autour de moi ont contribué à cette impression.</p>
