Have you ever been sitting in the living room or in class somewhere and caught yourself smiling at your cell phone? We all have. Its embarrassing but super adorable too. I do that every day lately, not from funny texts but just cause this place puts me in such a good mood. I love it. Just sitting on the bench smiling away at the world. Lollllll how lame am I.
A funny thing I've noticed since being here for a few weeks is, 1. How open everyone is to making new friends. Which is sweet for me. 2. The first thing they ask is "Where are you from" next question is "What kind of music do you listen to" I feel like being from New Brunswick everyone is open to Country music, and it's just a common type of music we all enjoy. Maybe not, but all of my friends, family &I like it. Here, I answered Country music and the guy said "I love Uncle Cracker" hahahahahah ummmm. So scary how even a province away Luke Bryan hardly exists. So 8tracks it is, all day long.
Here at L'Eloi, one of my jobs is doing a street casting in the streets of Montreal. Casting cool looking people, taking their photos on the spot, then later on bringing them for a shoot in the studio. Building an image bank for clients who are looking for "people" instead of models. It's a really cool way to interact with random strangers "Hi I'm Allie and I think you're super cool looking" now let me take your picture. Hahaaa, that's flattering right!? Really puts my français to the test. But good thing is no ones said no yet.
Here are 2 shots from my street casting last Thursday on Parc ave, this guy was so cute just sitting in the park playing his guitar. I couldn't resist
