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. !

sail on sailor

'hi speed'

i had another look at yesterdays take from high in stanley park. this is my pick.

prospect point, vancouver bc

a nice day to strap on the boots, and hit the trail up to prospect point in stanley park. luckily, it's down hill all the way home. i like the results / sticking with the duo tone (B&W), to shake my brain up a bit...

yaletown, vancouver bc

my take on one of the newest buildings in yaletown / downtown vancouver. she's a beauty. dentist money a must for occupancy...

let it rain..

big time soaker this week on the west coast. have to keep the camera pointing down, so this is how i saw the drift wood on a beach at stanley park. low, diffuse light makes for vibrant colours.....

in bound, vancouver

in bound to burrard inlet.

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..

stanley park forest

today was calm, cloudy, and mild. i hit the forest, as the colours really perform under this type of diffuse lighting. for the photography crowd, most of these images were exposed for 2 and a half, to 3 minutes. they were shot late in the day / almost dark to the eye.

the smells were wonderful, it was quiet, and i saw a bald eagle gliding between the trees.

lions gate as seen from the seawall...

let it rain, let it rain, let it rain........ man, she was coming down hard.

polar bear swim

polar bear swim this afternoon in english bay. i know my prairie friends are laughing at that! they'd say "if you want a polar bear swim, go chop a hole in wascana and take a dip".

walk in the park

this is how my canon and i saw stanley park the last week or so. some may have seen one or two previous, but i thought i'd put them in a group. gotta love a good group....

coal harbour, vancouver bc

my shot today of a sculpture titled: meeting, by artist wang shugans. the light was low/ i was returning home from a walk to chinatown. i shot many variations / this was my choice. you can see more about this installation at the vancouver biennale 2009 site.
