It is the twentieth anniversary, almost to the day, of this shot being taken (August 20s) in a garret room Mary and I were sharing on Saint Catherine Street in Montreal, Quebec. I chose to align the shot, which I treated in the late Teens, with Leonard Cohen's Sisters of Mercy, because Cohen himself is famously a native of Montreal. Beautiful Losers and The Favorite Game are both set in Montreal, and the Cohen mural in Montreal now is one of the city's most famous emblems. Also worth noting that Cohen attended McGill University in Montreal, which Mary & I visited while we were there. Confidentially, Mary looks a little like Marianne Ihlen, does she not?
