Hidden Beauties: The Cursed Facade

As a photographer, I like to challenge myself to find beauty where nobody sees it. It's easy to create a nice picture of a nice looking place, but I find it more interesting to try finding the qualities of places judged as ugly by most people.

Next week, one of my favorite spots will disappear. After years of deadlock, the destruction of the facade of the church Saint-Vincent-de-Paul will start as soon as monday.

I seize the opportunity to pay tribute to the cursed facade with a few photos captured in this controversial place during the last year. At the same time, I inaugurate a new category of photos called "Hidden Beauties of Quebec City", which will gather photographies taken in various places unloved by the population of the city. This collection can be found under the tab "Quebec City", in the right column.

Enjoy!
