EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white portrait format print, we are transported back in time to the enchanting French Quarter of Quebec. The oldest street, known as Sous La Falaise, comes alive with a scene that exudes nostalgia and simplicity. Photographer Bert Garai skillfully captures the essence of everyday life on this historic street on a chilly January day in 1946. A washing line stretches across the frame, adorned with an array of garments gently swaying in the breeze. This humble display adds a touch of domesticity to the otherwise bustling surroundings. As sunlight filters through the narrow alleyway, shadows dance playfully on weathered stone walls, creating an intriguing interplay between light and dark. The image evokes a sense of community as we imagine residents going about their daily routines amidst charming architecture and cobblestone streets. It serves as a reminder that even mundane tasks can be transformed into moments of beauty when observed through an artistic lens. This photograph is not just a visual representation but also an invitation to explore history and culture. With its distinct North American charm, it offers us glimpses into Quebec's rich heritage while showcasing Garai's keen eye for detail. Bert Garai's masterful composition transports us back in time to experience this slice of life from over seven decades ago—a testament to both his talent as a photographer and his ability to capture fleeting moments that transcend time itself.
