Multiple sources credit a "PAUL LAMONTAGNE/Special to the Free Press" for images from Vermont high school sports events (e.g., basketball, hockey, soccer, lacrosse) and US Open Cup games [2,5,6,8,9,10-22,24]. This may indicate a secondary career or hobby in sports journalism/photography, distinct from his finance role.
