Humans of the True North
Portraits and plain conversations with the people who hold Montreal's blocks together: the owners, the landlords, the realtors, the fixtures.
About
Every block in this country is held together by a few stubborn people. The ones who open early, fix the door themselves, and know the name of everyone who walks in. Humans of the True North photographs them where they work and asks one honest question. Then we stay quiet and let them answer in their own words.
