Above are some outtakes from my cross photos for Walrus. I put them up now for a few reasons. Firstly Jaspreet Singh, who wrote the story accompanying the photos, emailed me to say that he missed Montreal and enjoyed seeing the photo I took - so these are for you Jaspreet. Secondly I just heard that they will be refurbishing the cross this coming year. I don't know if that means taking it down but I hope not. It's not that I'm religious, quite the opposite in fact. It's just that it's a constant light looking down on us, somehow comforting. Also, after reading Jaspreet's story I like to think that it's a plus sign, and that makes me laugh. I include the dyptich on the bottom because I realize that I shot them on different nights and I am amazed that the angle is so similar. I guess I knew what I wanted.

  1. i heard they are taking down the cross and replacing it with a giant ankh as a sop to the goth community

  2. I heard it was going to be replaced by Odin's Horn and not and Ankh (egyptian love life symbol or something like that). Id rather see a giant Steamer up there though (no bun)

  3. If you missed Chris' reference (as I did) he meant a steamed hot dog or a steamé.
