Nicolas St-Pierre may come from a small town in Quebec, but by all accounts, he is a world traveler. Nicolas is a diplomat with the Canadian Foreign Service, which has meant extensive travel around the world and even a few stints living abroad in places like China and Japan.

But as has been the case for many of us, a global pandemic brought international travel to an abrupt halt for Nicolas. To keep his creative juices flowing, Nicolas recently embarked on a project called “The Longest Road” about Bank Street in Ottawa. (See the project in the February 2021 issue.) In our conversation, we discussed long and short form projects as well as Nicolas’ experience publishing his project on Blurb.
