Eye Ear Spy Vocalize Silent
Yes! That's right! I have a camera now! Maybe, just maybe, things will start happening around here. I broke the lovely little gadget in by immortalizing a few more Spy Ears whilst wondering around downtown today.
This one was taken just outside the Guy-Concordia metro station. I pass this one almost every day on my way to and from school, and I've been itching to capture it for ages now. Features an interesting variation of the phrase, too.
This one I was delighted to spot on the side of a building anyone who has spent a good deal of time in downtown Montréal should recognise - the Cheap Thrills used record shop on Metcalfe.
Jeezy creezy but I'm a crap photographer.

It's been a long long time...
... Hasn't it? So much for regular updates, am I right?
I'm hoping to find another opportunity to wander the streets with a camera but up until this point chances have not been forthcoming. Wandering I can do - it's the having a camera part which has been somewhat more difficult. Nevertheless I am determined. Have discovered interesting new trends in Montreal street markings - does the name "Jim Joe" tickle anyone's memory? I've been seeing it all over of late. Furthermore have discovered new Spy Ear Vocalize Silents, some with slight modifications - such as the "Spy Ear" on its own, or "Eye Spy Ear Vocalize Silent" (just outside the Guy-Concordia metro station; I can't for the life of me recall whether or not it's still there even though I pass it nearly every day). They're disappearing just as rapidly as they're being put up - often I will pass by a place I photographed last summer and the phrase will have been washed off or painted over. It irks me to think that I could be missing some entirely simply because I haven't the time or the energy or the will to hunt them down.
In any case, I know better than to make promises, but I'm trying, really.
