LIFE AS A VISUAL ARTIST || TRAVEL/MONTREAL
Montreal redux | The copywriters at some ad agency had fun dong this advert for McDonald's | The larger mural on the wall has been there at least two years [as I recall] though without the catchy rabbit-toothed mouth on the billboard beneath it |
We walked a lot during the trip, nothing new, we usually do that | Went west along Sherbrooke | Saw a store with skimpy underwear going for $100/usd [the clerks were very friendly, but wouldn't you be if somebody bought skivvies from you at that price?], then over to the Bourse, Victoria Square to Old Montreal and back to the Hotel Governeur Place DuPuis |
At some point, we traveled along Rue Ste Cathrine, where I caught these two t-shirts next to one another | Though I snapped the pix, the storekeep, [swarthy, mustachieod, middle eastern] came rushing outfront yelling "copyright! copyright!" though I was more interested in the image for the unexpected juxtaposition | Besides, we got the picture anyway | Afterwards, I wondered if maybe he was concerned about having the marijuana bong in the window photographed | I suppose I'll never know |
