PHOTOS: Up close and personal with the men of Gay Montreal
Liam Campbell is editor and photographer of the indie print mag, Elska, a project centered on traveling around the world, meeting some everyday local gay guys, and introducing them and their city to readers through honest photography and personal stories.
It’s a tough job, but someone’s gotta do it!The latest documents a trip to Montreal, Canada.Below, Liam shares exclusively with GayCities a selection of photos along with a bit of behind-the-scenes commentary about each.Montreal is famous for a lot of things.
In terms of cuisine, there’s anything and everything flavored with maple, and of course, there’s the rather disgusting-looking but somehow delicious poutine.
If you haven’t had it, poutine is a mass of fries drowned in gravy and dotted with globs of squeaky white curd cheese. Four of the guys in the issue are either photographed with or wrote about poutine in the stories they submitted for Elska, so you know it’s got to be epic!Then culturally, you have the music of Céline Dion, the films of Xavier Dolan, and, of course, the international phenomenon Cirque du Soleil.Cirque du Soleil is where Vincent comes in.
