day at the beach





my plan for the day was to hit the downtown.. again. i geared up, walked a block or two, and realized this was the nicest winter day i have ever spent in vancouver. so who needs the crowds? i went back home, put on the shorts, grabbed a pop, and spent the afternoon at the beach/ one block from my happy home / at english bay. oh... and i had my camera with me as well (would like to leave that at home more often).

i went to the beach today. 3 rd beach that is, in stanley park. sat on a log and watched the float planes fly by.

shrimp fisherman


i shot this portrait of a fisherman on the dock at granville island. bought a few lbs of shrimp / i'll let you know how they cook up. he was a nice guy/looked like he could have been a rigger in saskatchewan.

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..

vancouver, gastown


this is what i came up with today. a long stroll about chinatown, gastown, and downtown, and yaletown, and... well, just a lot of walking. i've shot those 'sails' before at canada place, so it may look like a retread, but it's fresh off the press. the light / balance has to be spot on, and tonight i waited until it was. my legs are a little sore, but i'm happy with these 2 shots... and seated, having a pop....

with the warm, sunny weather this afternoon, you could just feel this bud getting ready to burst into bloom

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. !
