québec city
guy levesque
Located in the historic district of Vieux-Port / Québec City real quality is catching ones eyes: Guy Levesque runs his small studio with an attached showroom in the Sault-au-Matelot. There he creates handmade leather masks. We loved especially his self-designed model with which he reproduces the masks. Guy is a talented artist and he has taught to artists working for Cirque du Soleil how to mold leather and make mask with this particular technique. © B.G.
marc bergeron
OnedayOnephoto is a facebook group that was created by the german photographer Frank Lange ( friend of ours) about six years ago and now it has about 820 members.
Frank had told me to contact the Canadian photographer Marc Bergeron, who lives in quebec city, and that he could certainly recommend some places to go. Marc got my “facebook friend” and we met him in his city – wow, I hadn´t in mind that real friendship could grow in such a short time out of a facebook-„friend“.
But one after the other: Marc Bergeron studied photography and worked then, because the possibility revealed, as a military-photographer. He had to document several wars with his camerea, lost many of his comrades, got wounded and his traumatic experiences don´t let him go. Now he is retired and seven years ago he had married for the first time in his life.
His wife France is a charming, endearing Québecois. Previously, as he told, he was not in a position to start a family because of his many worldwide inserts.
Marc Bergeron is an active member at OnedayOnephoto. He had shown us the city of québec , hosted us wonderfully at his home and introduced us to his friends. I dedicate this blog contribution to him and Frances selfless, incredible hospitality and here i show some pictures of a trip with friends on his boat.
Encounters with other people make a journey interesting; encounters with friends like Marc Bergeron enrich it indefinitely.
Thanks France, thanks Marc, thanks to all your friends, who had given us a great time in québec city. © n.g.
pub art
designer and interior designers take note: carrefour de tilly in saint antoine could be your new mecca. Our friend marc bergeron selected the pub by chance, simply because we were hungry. while we tasted the specialities outsideon the sunny terrace inside that dark pub an illustrious group of people had a celebration with a one-man combo. A feast fort eyes and ears, authentic as it gets. © n.g.
