Old Montreal, the city’s historic district, continually echoes to the tread of tour groups. I saw this group coming from some distance away, and quickly found an appropriate background – an old building now housing a photographic company. I liked the incongruity offered by the large incongruous photo posters on the building’s façade. As the people approached, I noticed that their guide was lecturing them as they walked. I made this image from just across the street, using a 135mm telephoto lens. I put my camera on burst shooting, and kept firing as they passed me. In this shot, the guide leads the way with two outstretched fingers. Meanwhile a large hand on the building wall incongruously points its own finger at the tour guide’s head. The people follow like sheep, leaving us to wonder if and how they will hear the story the guide is telling here.
