west end, vancouver

a few shots from my winter neighbourhood.

engish bay, late in the day.... today.

bc fog

my record of a beautiful, foggy hike through stanley park / yesterday.

stanley park, vancouver bc

today was foggy, then sunny, then foggy......... perfect for shooting in the forest. right now, this is one of my favorites.

A-Maze-Ing

this is an art installation at enghish bay called A-Maze-ing Laughter, by Yue Minjun of China. it seems very popular / tons of photos taken here.

its raining christmas lights.

sylvia sunset

the sun sets on the sylvia over english bay

blast from the past

i haven't been by the train station in vancouver for decades. we use to pass thru this building on a regular basis, spending the holidays in vancouver, via the rails, from saskatchewan. it seemed 'bigger' when you're 6 or 8 years old......... but i like this shot.

cambie hotel

i hooked up with a few old friends, and some new ones, at the cambie hotel last night. its the type of place that reminds one of a prairie bar. there was conversation about photography, particularly documentive. so in that spirit, this is my version of capturing the street. reminds me of early days shooting the zoo in oxbow... on main.. (sans traffic).

duck

i followed this little fella around lost lagoon in stanley park for awhile today. he kept diving on me, but i got this shot when it was time for a breath of fresh air. i like the simplicity of the image.

english bay, vancouver bc

recreation, west coast style.

china town, vancouver bc

my take on chinatown this aft/eve. lots of fun..

man's best friend

when i was shooting in the park last night, a friend i met last winter happened by with his canine companion. the light was fading fast, so asked them if they would pose quickly for a portrait.

vancouver beach

the call today was for heavy rain, so that's when you get out there and wait for a break. i have a few more interesting shots that i'll post in the next few days.

stanley park

it's raining today, so i thought the blog could stand a little sunshine (from last week).

canada place

i think i took this shot last year, but this is the one i took today.

lions gate bridge

i've always hoped i would be under the lions gate bridge when a big ship was steaming by (with a camera, as opposed to sleeping). so i was happy with the first image. i thought i'd try for a secondary shot. i like the second one the best. it would be great to get your opinions/choices. looking forward to your comments. thxs.

big blue

as i could see from the seawall today, some people would rather be sailing.

vancouver bc

2 shots from coal harbour tonight. one for you, and one for me.

stanley park

i went for a walk in the park, and shot some of nature's art. i'll call this series 'the ice of stanley park'.

i know it's a little chilly in the hinterland right now, so this may not suit your eye. maybe our neighbors to the south will enjoy...
