i thought this was an interesting take on rollerblading along the seawall in Stanley park. it was a beautiful day to be by the ocean.

happy times

another winter olympic 2010 moment.

my winter olympic photo blog

enjoyed spending some time photographing this performer on granville street. he brought smiles to the winter olympic crowd.

my light show in false creek

since my sister, and some friends have been designing their own laser light shows, i thought i'd do one myself. one shot, all in camera.

olympic winter sailing

a tale of 2 ships.. or 2 tales/one ship. i went for a run on the seawall. came across a wonderful impromptu inukshuk-rock balancing piece of art. went home to get my gear to take a shot before the tide wiped it out. did a quick check on the email, and there was a message, inviting me to go for a sail (the lumsden crew). i knew i couldn't get there on time, but thought they might be sailing past my shoot location. so that's it, their boat in the background. i like the shot - west coast style / art,sea,sailing,mountains.

second shot. same deal, i screwed up and missed another invite to go for a sail with the lumsden crew. i was walking home on the seawall, and thought just by chance.. i might see them coming in. and that's their boat, the panacea.(hope i have the name right). i'm thinking.. what are the chances.. given the thousands of people in the city for the games, and all the boats on the water, i'd see that one, twice. cool......... oh, and i did get on board last night for some wonderful oysters and beer. thxs to the colhouns, judy, blair.. (judy, watch your head).

olympics

busy place... on granville st, downtown vancouver.

olympic crowds

i decided to get back into the main stream today. took a walk along the seawall, and ended up down by the rink. i found a nice spot out of the way, put the canon on a tripod, and spent an hour and a half shooting the crowds/ watching the light change. second shot from the same location - the athlete's village.

vancouver spring flowers

a little taste of what's popping up in and around stanley park.

winter olympic light show

my sister in saskatchewan went on line, and set up this light design dedicated to 2 friends who are fighting illness. i was the photographer of record. it was fun last night / shooting the show and talking to her via cell at the same time. well done.
Art Lights Vancouver's Nights

downtown vancouver

i burnt quite a bit of shoe leather today, so i decided to set up shop on granville street, and let the action come to me. the light was right, so i spent an hour or 2 just fooling around with the canon.

granville street olympic action

olympic crowds. looking south on granville st.

false creek, vancouver olympics

laser light show at false creek in beautiful vancouver bc. i had fun shooting this / must have been the only soul on the beach. the masses were partying downtown.

olympic gathering

well, this is how i saw the assembled masses in downtown vancouver today. quite a turn out i'd say.

vancouver, chinatown

some folks thought my previous post was from chinatown, so i went today and shot some of the action. i like the guy walking in shadow/ bottom right of the first frame. it was a fab spring like day in the winter olympic city. can't image most people would mind.

vancouver aquarium

vancouver bc

i really like these, and had fun shooting today. any guesses where i was? enjoy.

downtown vancouver

ok, just a little fun in the spirit of the impending winter olympics. i ran into a friend downtown this aft, so we did a quick portrait on the steps of the vancouver art gallery. i also had fun capturing a tourist shooting a self portrait in front of the olympic clock. starting to feel the oylmpic energy..

fragrance of flowers

OH NO, WALKER'S TAKIN' PICTURES OF FLOWERS AGAIN!
well, i had to.... it's been warm, and i think things are a little ahead this year. these are from stanley park, shot this afternoon. the winter Olympic city might be praying for snow, but i think anyone is happy to see flowers blooming.

vancouver bc

i received a message from a fellow flat lander today / said she was checking out my blog and was inspired (and she's a photographer to boot). that kinda inspired me, so i got out and had a look around. lots of fun shooting this location in english bay for an hour or two. i was thinking black & white all the way, but kinda like the colour version. so..... to get the conversation started / let me know your preference. thxs. !
