Flickr photos by Michel Gravel

Montreal photojournalist Michel Gravel has put up some of his work on Flickr: classic street shots and portraits, many of them from Montreal (he worked for La Presse for many years). A 1965 shot of Ste-Catherine Street, Jean Drapeau winning an election, Bobby Kennedy at La Ronde, all fix a moment in time, although this alley shot is timeless. Not a huge collection and many of the shots are worth viewing large.

Particularly relevant at the moment: a shot of Jacques Villeneuve, and a comparison of Gilles and Jacques.
