Puerto Vallarta / post sunset.

Puerto Vallarta .... blown glass art on display outside of the shop.

a look at Yelapa today. nice to get out on the water.. that is to say / about a 45 minute ride from PV.

my take on the morning beach set up.. wave included.

this was fun. down on the beach to shoot another ho hum sunset/this little guy just walked into the frame. like it.

life guard.

Puerto Vallarta sunset.

really enjoyed shooting this eve.... the sun sets every night, so that can wait..

catch of the day / PV

musings from mexico.

last one from the top of the Woodwards building..

i'm posting this shot from days gone by to demonstrate how time flies. this is my friends, darrel and debbie's daughter, alyssia. as i recall, she was knee high to a grasshopper when we shot this (still one of my all time favorites). go here, and see where she is now. way to go!!

clouds over the north shore mountains.

a look at some heavy traffic after the Santa Claus parade today in Vancouver

mount Baker as seen from downtown Vancouver.

morning fog over New Westminster BC.

 the granville street bridge.. in the fading light.. just before the rain late this afternoon.

rain in Gastown this evening. washing away any trace of snow.

a touch of alpine glow.... beautiful BC.

full moon over the north shore.

vancouver did get a bit of snow last night, but it turned out to be a pleasant day. this is looking north west, over downtown.

a view of the north shore mountains this afternoon.

yet another shot from the deck......

a friend and colleague from LA was in town today. had to try a little street portrait photography in the downtown east side.

ok, this is my thought. i shot these images 5 minutes, and 5 paces apart. they are completely different, but exactly the same.. there is stark contrast, but my eye was looking for the same thing.

i would be interested in any comments...... 

this shot reminds me of Gotham City (however, i've never been, so......). it's a view of the on going construction of BC Place. tomorrow, i will post another image i shot not 5 paces from this one. it's quite the contrast / check in.

some crazy clouds here today / this is south false creek / vancouver bc.

it was a rainy day in vancouver. of course, that's when you get the rainbow. everybody likes a rainbow.....

a shot from my day trip to whiterock..........

what i woke up to this morning...

here's a shot from the past. i entered it into a "Metro" newspaper  contest, and looks as if they liked it. this is what it says on their web site.

"The global winners’ interviews and photos will be published globally in Metro – reaching an audience of 17 million people!" 

hummm, nice audience for a good old prairie storm shot.......
(sorry to those that received this twice).

a bit of morning mist as seen from the Woodward's Building in Vancouver.

what i see, and how i see it, from the Woodward's building in the downtown/gastown area of vancouver.

i'll call this "me and my shadow". however,  the Sylvia hogs the lime light...

walking out.........

a little ocean fog on English bay.

ok, i've totally milked and over saturated my muskoka adventure.... so that's all for now...

i'm looking for a title for this series. suggestions anyone?

Muskoka, Ontario. Canada. one more time..

man from muskoka

this is a view from an evening canoe run / you can see my friends cottage on the distant shore.
