Montreal's Subway

This series is the first photo project that I have done with a clear direction in mind. It was a lot of work but also a lot of fun. What started out as just a way to keep shooting without suffering from frostbite as winter rolled in, became my first photo project ever. For a little over a year I traveled Montreal subway network, doing all of the 68 stations and trying to find something interesting too shoot each time. As a photographer, I have learned a lot along the way. Among other things, the limitation of shooting only primes and how even in the most boring and conventional places, there is always something worthy of your attention if you look closely enough.
