Radio silence

Posted on July 24, 2011

Sorry for the radio silence everyone. It’s been a crazy busy summer so far for me. I’m regularly uploading new photos on my Flickr account so keep checking those as often as you like for some visual goodies. Here’s a few of my best shots this summer so far:

Away and back again…

Posted on April 12, 2011

 

So I appologize for the radio silence as of late. I escaped to Mexico for a couple of weeks and I’m now back fully recharged and ready to kick it Montreal style.

However, it’s a different me that returns to the home-base: My fingers have forgotten how to type – traded in that skill for more sensory ones: sand caressing, swimming, searching for a breeze and resting high above my head on the ropes of a hammock or simply braiding my fingers together on top of my head. They are used to everything always being covered in sand and salt dust.
My skin is sunkissed. My body still seeking some crazy warmth in a way that clothing can’t replicate. I still feel the presence of Matus, a spiritual sage that I encountered on my way and that adopted me as his daughter. My papito and I talked for what must’ve been a minimum of 5 hours a day. I also made other friends on my path. Met a new friend from Patagonia. Another one from France. Clearly, I also met a bunch of people from various parts of Mexico, who are now established in the hermoso pueblito of Puerto Morelos. In the short time period I was there, I forged strong family-like bonds in a strange and mystical land. They say that more stuff happens in a mexican day than in any gringo-land: I’m ready to testify to that.
Asi es. I know deep inside me that I must return. There’s a home there for me, and plenty of work opportunities that rival the type of work I can get here in Canada. But there’s no need to rush such a move. Life will help me make it a reality. I also know that don’t want to be there always – the summers are unbearable and there’s not much work during that season. However, as the next winter begins to rear its ugly head, I will make more concrete plans to return. In the meantime, I have a life here which I love and I’m not ready to abandon everything that it is just yet. Missions must be completed in order to bear fruit.

 

Note: The tree with the crazy green skin and the spikes is a Ceiba. Ceibas are a sacred tree to the mayas. All photos by Sarah Brideau.

I prepared this entry in advance and, strangely enough, that’s exactly how I feel this morning.

Happy Tuesday to you all.

Lyrics for the title of the day from The Tallest Man on Earth

Words of the day: “It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that they are difficult” – Seneca

D’autres mots intéréssants qu’un ami m’a envoyé ce matin : “Sois un bon poème: Un peu de mystère, un peu d’ambiguïté, beaucoup de beauté. Surtout, donner l’envie de se faire lire, ne pas se placarder partout comme une mauvaise publicité criarde.”

Petite Preview d’un nouveau projet

Posted on March 6, 2011

Sans me perdre dans les détails, je vous offre aujourd’hui un exemple d’un nouveau projet à venir. “Secrets Photographiques” sera une série de photos prises avec mon superbe Mamiya 645, sur film argentique moyen format, où j’ai l’intention de laisser parler les sujets de ces photos. Pour la première, voici Jeri, ma gentille chatte rousse qui, un matin, a décidé de me parler et de me transmettre son propre poème. Je n’ai que laissé couler l’encre.

Si je connaissais mieux Photoshop, la poésie serait superposée sur la photo sans la cacher. Hélàs, ce sera pour un autre tantôt…

Talk to me with your hands

Je veux que tu me parles avec tes yeux

Que tu ne regardes que moi

Je miaulerai comme un enfant gazouille

J’étirerai mes pantoufles blanches sur toi

Je te montrerai encore et encore

Que mes pattes sont comme des mains

Que moi aussi j’ai des doigts

Pour m’agripper à ton cœur

Parles moi avec tes mains

Laisses moi grimper jusqu’à ton cou

Je veux ronronner au rythme de ta plume

Je veux coller mon visage contre le tien

Chanter mes ballades brisées aux oiseaux

M’y lover comme un foulard

Je te suivrai du regard où que tu ailles

Je sais toujours exactement où tu es

J’attendrai des nuits entières

À ta porte pour que tu réveilles

Mes oreilles savent capter

Chacun de tes mouvements

Et je me frotte contre tes jambes

Pour que tu n’oublies pas que tu m’appartiens

Le matin je dois toujours te rappeler

Les secrets qu’on partage

Parle moi avec tes mains

Et dis moi cent fois que je t’appartiens aussi.
