Directions, Montreal, Canada, 2009

Old Montreal dates back to days when France ruled the city. Today, this section of the city, which sits hard by the St. Lawrence River, is a historic district, drawing tourists from all over the world. These directional signs offer a vivid contrast of Montreal -- then and now. The shadows that flow from them link some of the city’s historic 18th century gems to a 21st century fashion statement.

The bright red signs point to the historical destinations of Montreal's illustrious past. The black crooked shadow ominously points to the graffiti which, like the fashion statement, is a contemporary sign of the times.
