Saint-Malo became notorious as the home of the corsairs, French privateers and sometimes pirates. In the 19th century, this "piratical" notoriety was portrayed in Jean Richepin's play Le flibustier and in César Cui's eponymous opera. The corsairs of Saint-Malo not only forced English ships passing up the Channel to pay tribute but also brought wealth from further afield. Jacques Cartier lived in, and sailed from, Saint-Malo to the Saint Lawrence River, visiting the villages of Stadacona and Hochelaga that would later become the sites of present-day Quebec City and Montreal respectively. As the first European to encounter these sites and learning the local word "Kanata" (meaning a group of houses), Cartier is credited as the discoverer of Canada.

Elf Evans is a photo Maker, Abstract Expressionist Painter, Author.
Elf Evans began his artistic career in Santa Monica, California as an Abstract Expressionist Painter inspired by artists from the New York School of painting. He attended Hollywood Art Center School on the GI Bill and also studied commercial photography at Santa Monica City College.
Colour and lighting are the immediate methods of distinguishing his techniques from other photographers. Since moving to France in 2008, he has continued to exhibit, impress and strive for the ever illusive best possible ingredients for his compositions..
A key feature of his work is not to overcrowd his images with too many features, thus allowing the viewer to use their mind, eyes, and intellect to guide them in his compositions. He works often with Mannequin Heads and Musical Instruments.
