So I went on an adventure during 10 days. I had to do some filming at various Audi locations throughout Montréal and Toronto for work but managed to fit in more with the schedule to see family and just have some fun... I thought I'd share some pics! (Note: Google seems to make the pics soft from downsizing)

My first stop was Montréal where I stayed at a world renown Intercontinental chain:

Ever felt brain freeze without drinking something cold down? Don't wear a scarf to toque outside when it's -10C and let the wind blow on the back of your neck.

The next day my driver/translator/guide took me out to the various Audi locations that I needed to be at but always found time to snap some cool pics...

After practicing my French I needed to get back into English. Next stop was Toronto....

Visited two of my Aunts and had a great time!

Went back to Montréal for the day then up to Mont Tremblant for a couple days to catch some slope time with super warm conditions. We all dressed way too warm...

Oh and I forgot...here's some of the work I do. I am the lead graphic designer of a company who puts on Private Sales for car dealerships across the continent. It's gotten so big that instead of just dealership owners recognizing the company, vehicle manufacturers are starting to take notice and contract events nationwide with our company. Now I have added a branch into video work so this is what I put together for the company with all the footage that was taken.

If he wasn't being filmed, my bet is that salesman would have gotten slugged.
