Jim Sant Amour: New York photographs

My first ever mail art from Jim Sant Amour. These are his own photographs he took in New York in the MOMA garden. Now that's a great way to get around the copy rights question. Thank you Jim, great work, you have inspired me.

What a wonderful name; "Sant Amour". I wonder how the Americans pronounce it?

Comment by Dean aka Artist in Seine on August 21, 2012 at 1:46pm: Yes Marie it is very nice, but can you pronounces the last name "sanamour" without a French accent?

Comment by Marie Wintzer on August 20, 2012 at 11:45pm: Love it

Comment by Dean aka Artist in Seine on August 20, 2012 at 4:43pm: Well at least you have the "eye". Makes up for your grandfather's loosing one.

Comment by Jim SantAmour on August 20, 2012 at 4:26pm: Glad you like it.

My family pronounces the last name "sanamour" - accent on the "san" and a soft or silent "T". I've heard many different pronounciations - most end with "our" as in "flower". And a thousand different spellings.

My grandfather was born in Quebec, with the last name St. Amour...but it was "americanized" to SantAmour when he became a US citizen...I guess the typewriters in 1914 didn't have the letter "i"...
