On Friday, April 16, a Guerilla contingent consisting of me, road-warrior photographer Tony Fouhse, and assistant Laurence Butet-Roch (a superb student from the School of Photographic Arts Ottawa) drove to Montreal for a date with the artists at the William Street Studio.

The trip killed two birds with one shoot: the images will be part of a story we are working on about Montreal culture at ground level for Guerilla #24 (June) and they will also serve as Fouhse’s official entry into the final round of the 10 Best 10 global photo competition.

Earlier this month Fouhse was selected as the Canadian winner in the contest and snagged two SONY cameras and some other stuff as prizes (scroll down for a video of the official prize-giving ceremony). The Montreal photos will now go up against the results from nine other photo shoots assigned to nine other regional winners in nine magazines published around the world. Is that exciting or what?

Stay tuned for updates. And read Tony Fouhse's own blog posting about the trip here.
