Interview with Marc Langille an Award Winning Pentax Photographer


Marc Langille is a well known photographer who has been interviewed by an internet friend, Peter Zack.
The interview starts with the following question after approval from Jose (the main writer of the blog)
Q: Marc, can you give us a little background? Where you’re from, your work and what inspired you to get started in photography. What inspires you today?

A: I was born in Montreal, then moved the Maritime Provinces during my childhood. I lived in or near Ottawa from the time I was 11 years old. I originally became involved in photography after retiring from elite amateur endurance sports so I could still be involved with the sport in some fashion. The second roll of 35mm film I ever shot ended having a travel image published in Photo Life magazine. It was a national contest with roughly 15,000 entries. I also had two more images published that year—one in a newspaper for an article on a local athlete, and another in a full page shot in a sporting publication. I seek inspiration from both competitions as well as the constant challenges that photography can bring to me, often on a daily basis.
