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

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

more english bay......

paddleboarding

ship

yesterday, after i had finished shooting the 'flora' , this is the scene i came across. viewed from the teahouse in stanley park. quite the contrast..

vancouver bc

still a little colour hanging on.

downtown vancouver bc

a nice sunny day for a walk in downtown vancouver. i happened upon this location, part of a project called Eagles in the City. plenty of interesting light bouncing off city skyscrapers. this is what i came up with.

gastown, vancouver bc.

looks like i'll be back in vancouver for the winter, so it got me thinking about this shot i did in gastown for a toronto ad agency back in the day.

forest floor abstract

just a fun shot i did of the forest floor.

vancouver, canada

a couple of images from downtown vancouver i shot today. i especially like the 'alley' shot. i had a video camera in tow / working-shooting a yet to be determined project. hard to imagine how many frames/images i shot today..... stay tuned for more...

tourists taking pictures

a few shots from the 'bay' this eve. the beach looked interesting as the sun went down. i had some time to shoot what i saw, but then a couple entered the frame. in my past photo life, i would have hoped they'd move on. but i just waited and watched, and got a shot of them taking a 'shot'. turns out they were students from brazil on the last day of their trip.

like my last post, their presence makes the 2nd version, 'a moment in time'.

east pender & main

had to return to the east pender & main area to shoot my version of the Ovaltine Hotel. i wanted to see the location under, what i consider, the right lighting conditions. i'm satisfied with my result. the neighbourhood is visually exciting/but challenging to photograph. a few of the locals gave me their vibe. all around.. no harm done.

note: i usually post one image ONLY. i wasn't sure which one was better? / comments?? (that is if you like). thxs.

stanley park, vancouver bc

sorry to those that have received this more than once.

lions gate bridge

a different take on the lions gate bridge in vancouver / 'twas a foggy day.

grandville island

i did my bi weekly grandville island tour today. ended up talking with an asian skipper/learned a lot about crab fishin' on the west coast. he gave me a few to take home for the chowder pot.

had to stop and take a shot of the snow/rocks and sunset on the walk home. i know a little girl who likes to paint sunsets.
