post your own caption

this is my portrait of tommie d. the film guy. he was helping me shop for a little camcorder, and we stopped for a pop at the cambie hotel to take a load off. well, tom was spinning a few yarns..... i'd like to invite one and all to add your favorite caption to this photo.

maybe something like one of his friends from regina: > Lost in the details of his story, and just recently having come from his favourite bakery, Tom doesn't notice that his lunch guest left 5 minutes ago....

PS/notice the cops are on the way.

the bud

this is my shot of the amsterdam cafe on w.hastings in vancouver. the area has a vibe, and an aroma...

sails

burrard inlet.. looking north, last night.

downtown vancouver

a few architecture shots. some new buildings, some not so new.

airship

i had a fun day, shooting architecture in downtown vancouver. (i will post tomorrow). along the way/ had to spend some time observing this hovercraft, on english bay. dam, those ships are still in the background.........

february blahs

this photograph is for us in the northern hemisphere/ winter bound. the season has promised to change.... eventually. i shot this a few years back on a hot summer day in south east saskatchewan. i like hot summer days....

gastown

i've walked by this intersection many times / today the light co-operated, and i had fun composing this shot. i thought someone would want to know what building this is (i don't), so i asked my sage friend chris. "It is the Dominion Building. built in 1904, it is 14 floors".

english bay abstract

i'm aware i post many shots of english bay ( possibly, too many). in my defense, it's right around the block, and it's a sweet location. this is a different take on the bay / and, the ships are still out there.....

stanley park, vancouver bc

stanley park tree portrait.

downtown vancouver canada

a 'perfect' weather day here in vancouver. so what do i do? go inside and take pictures. this is my shot of the vancouver library.

glimpses of vancouver

3 different looks of the city.

jet plane

just a shot i like.

grandville island

one more shot from today. my portrait of tommy d / he was giving me a lesson on shooting video.

post card

i have to say, these types of images are not my favorite. however, in the spirit of 'what i see and how i see it', this is the result. don't get me wrong /the sunset this eve was great to look at, and i intentionally went for a 'look'. i just need to get my photographic edge back (just kidding... sort of).

more china town

a couple more that i like.

china town

it was a perfect spring like day in vancouver. i headed to china town to see the colours, and experience the aromas. enjoy.

dog sledding

i came across this shot in the archives. in the spirit of winter, i will post for anyone who enjoys the season. this was a project for tourism saskatchewan back in the day.

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'.

another dog, another sunset

ok, i had to go for a walk this eve, and the seawall is one of my tracks, and i had my camera, and the sun was setting.... so i thought i should linger. it was sweet to look at / boring as hell to photograph. but then the dog sprinted by, and this shot made my evening.

to me it moves beyond the cliche' / and becomes a moment in time. any comments?

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.
