• Thank you to the mayor of Montreal,
Mr. Gerald Tremblay for his kindness in
providing us this exclusive interview
despite his hectic schedule.
•
I know that Montrealers are nice and in the
second thought, they are extremely very nice
indeed. I can not at the same time
video tape and take pictures during the
Olympic Torch Relay so during all the time I
just asked people around me and they warmly
accepted to shoot these pictures. On
behalf of all the VTers, thank you to all
the Montrealers who gave me their offer to
take pictures in order to tape the event.
Without you we don't complete those
memorable pictures.
• I
would like to acknowledge the Hellenic
Community of Montreal for giving me all the
facilities to be in the security zone. Also
thank you to all the young Canadian-Greeks
who were present at the Saint-Joseph
Oratory, you are all warm and nice.
• Also
thank you to all the VTers who voted for my
post. Your interests are overwhelming.
( Picture
1 to 4 ) Sherbrooke St. East overpass above Berri
St. - Thanks to a young lady name
Judith who offered to help me take those
shoots.
( Pictures
20 & 21 ) Corner of Van Horne Av. and Stuart Av.
- There was a lady with her small baby in
her hand. She took this picture and just
handed the camera back to me than rushed to
leave while I still tried to tape from
behind the flame's relay runner. I didn't
have a chance to ask her name. A big thank
you to her as well.
( Pictures 22 to 37 ) Those pictures were taken under and on
the Van-Horne overhead above St-Laurent Boul.
A young man with a backpack passed beside me
so I asked him if he can give me a hand to
take pictures. He first looked at his watch
and say: "I have to rush to the Metro
station (subway) to catch my bus in Longueuil
(going out of town) if that doesn't take too
long he is willing to help. Finally he
stayed for more than 10 minutes. It was a
very remote area where we posted to take
those pictures. There were no people around
except us. His name is Nicolas. I offered
him a drive but he declined and say he has
still enough time to catch his bus. - Thank
you very much Nicolas.
Now I am convinced that Montrealers are
really very nice people indeed. A big thank
you to them all for their kindness and
giving us nice pictures of the Montreal
Olympic Torch Relay. |
Does any VTers know the name of the
flame torch holder in the slide show
above and in the video clip (link
below) ? I have some
names but am not very sure to
caption the photo so if anyone of
you can let me know I'll re-edit the
clip. Thanks in advance!
