The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Yesterday, my friends and I were on our way to a cafe in Montreal to have breakfast before heading back to Jersey. When we reached the cafe, we found ourselves at a set of a Hollywood production. Turns out that this is a movie that will come out 2008 featuring Brad Pitt playing a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards. The story starts at the beginning of the 20th century and goes all the way to our times. So this street was full of people looking like people used to look in the 1950s. I found that very cool. They blended in very well between the old buildings. One of them told me that they are actually shooting scenes that take place in Paris, but the producers seemed to have chosen Montreal, because it is not that busy. Here are two snapshots. The first one shows extras waiting for their action. The second one is a little rehearsal with moving cars and pedestrians. I whish I would have more time and the permission to take more pictures.

Trip to Montreal

Monday is Memorial Day which was invented to honor war dead. Well, most people I know are not really affected by war dead. They honor having a long weekend and the beginning of the pool, beach and barbecue season. I for my part will take the chance and go on a little trip to Canada.

Istanbul

There are so many details in it...I think a very large print of that would be something nice to look at.

Sometimes I do weird things with my camera. For example photographing friends.
