STORIES IN TIME
"Great photographers don’t just take pictures, they are storytellers. And, anyone interested by Montreal's contemporary jazz scene should get acquainted with the art of Randy Cole, whose photographic and video portraits of Montreal artists tell the story of jazz life around here. Cole is no camera touting tourist. He knows the musicians, has a deep feeling for the music and has an extraordinary talent for seizing that special moment that says so much, that says it all. Highly recommended."
Stanley Péan, CBC Radio Canada host, writer and jazz enthusiast

CAPTURING THE ESSENSE
A good photograph can tell a whole story, a long story. It can capture a moment, or a relationship. Storytelling happens when years of craft surround a split second, and bring it to life.
A good image lives in time despite being still, and speaks to our most intimate considerations.
It is said that the whole can be greater than the sum of its parts. In this way, a good photograph can tell a whole story that is understood in an instant.
