Thousands of Pumpkins Seen from Above

For more than fifty years, Pierre Lahoud, recognized for his aerial photography, has been documenting the landscapes of Quebec from above, earning him the title of 'flying historian'. Throughout his career, he has aimed to capture the unique beauty and history of the province, offering a different perspective on the regions across Quebec. His aerial images not only highlight the topography but also the seasonal agricultural practices that characterize the area, including the vibrant pumpkin patches that are especially notable during the fall. Lahoud shares his photographs and narratives freely with the audience of Coops de l'information, providing insights into the changing landscapes and promoting appreciation for the provincial scenery. The contribution of aerial photography to understanding regional characteristics exemplifies the vital relationship between art and local heritage.
