Montréal

Hi Louie,
Welcome to APUG.
Sad but true, the film section at Lauzau is becoming thinner by the minute, but you can still buy Kodachrome. And the new Ektar is on the shelf.

Welcome to APUG!

Hi,

I've been a member of APUG for about 4 years or so but just noticed the Montreal group! Well, it's good to know that there are some traditional enthusiasts in the city. With the dwindling selection at L.L.Lauzeau, I was begining to think I was the only one.

So, as an introduction, I'm a father of three, teacher, psychologists, and former research scientist for the department of National Defence. My interest in photography began when I was about 10 years old with my father's Kodak instamatic. I've been at it, more or less non-stop , since then (about 30 years). About 2 years ago I finally built a darkroom I'm hapy with. I have a lot of learning to do with regard to making pictures but I am enthusiastic about it.

Looking forward to reading about the other members in this group.

Yeah, the thing I don't like about the groups is that they do not show up in the list of news posts for the forums, so I keep forgetting....

October, well the leaves are turning colourful on the Mont-Royal, and the Football season will end soon with the Grey Cup.

Ok, time to stir up this group.
Next week, I move back to Montreal
Permanently
Anyone doing something in October?
How about the Jardin botanique? There is an exposition of Chinese lanterns till the end of the month. Night time exposure galore

Hello all!
Join the group.
Same storyline as mhv I guess

I grew up in Montreal West/Ouest where Sherbrooke begins in the west end. It was a great neighbourhood to grow up in. I found it a tough transition when the family moved the suburbs of Toronto.

What I miss from the Montreal of my youth: The original Chalet BBQ Chicken (not Swiss Chalet) on Decarie, Coloseum Pizza on Rue Westminster in my old neighbourhood of Montreal West/Ouest and real Montreal smoked meat. Let's not forget a NHL team that acually won Stanley Cups in my lifetime.

I was not born in Montréal, but my parents were. I always considered myself a Montrealer, even before I lived there. Of course, when I moved from my country hellhole to the city, I was a stranger, a country bumpkin, but I eventually learned the ways of urbanity.

I was born and spent the first 12 years of my life in Montreal. I still root for the Habs just to annoy all my friends who support the Leafs.
