My friend Sheona and I have been talking back and forth about the potential of doing a little photoshoot together. I, being not the most comfortable with taking photos of people and her, wanting some photos done for herself, we finally were able to find a day where the weather would cooperate and schedules aligned. We both kind of went in blind though and the general idea was to wander … Continue Reading »

Robyn and I went up to Whistler with my mum for a little quick getaway, we also met up with my brother who was keen on meeting us there. The weather was trying to cooperate with us as we made our way up to the Roundhouse Lodge on Whistler itself. Though if it wasn't roughly 4 degrees Celcius, I am sure it would have snowed, the sleet didn't help any … Continue Reading »

I have taken dozens of photos of the Inukshuk at English bay. Taken at different seasons in the year to different times during the day. I don't think I can ever get bored photographing it and I do believe it is one of the most photographed objects in Vancouver, if not the most popular.
Today I was thinking about how shooting a subject from different angles and how changing your angle … Continue Reading »

One thing you have to love is a good sunset, right? The smokey skies of western British Columbia allowed for some spectacular colours skies. I took this one after a swim in the water and on the last evening that Robyn and I stayed on Hornby Island.
The sun sets over Vancouver Island, with Denman Island in the foreground. Two people on the saleboat prepare it for docking at the Ford's … Continue Reading »

If you ever get the opportunity to go to Hornby Island during the Summer months you will definitely want to pack along your bathing suit. Hornby Island does offer some designated places for people to swim in. These places are ocean shore locations but are protected by coves or bays which makes swimming safe and fun. The other neat thing is that the tides go out, way out, which helps … Continue Reading »

One thing about Hornby Island that some people might over look is the amount of Bald Eagles that call the little island home.
Recently on a trip to Helliwell Provincial Park, Robyn and I came across and adult bald eagle perched in a tree. This particular raptor was lower than they sit typically so getting a few dozen photographs of him (or her) was not too painful.
He just sat there moving … Continue Reading »

The summer here in Vancouver has been pretty good, even if it had a bit of a late start. Glad the weather is cooperating though as we have gone on vacation for 7 days to the beautiful little island of Hornby. Hornby Island is located north of Naniamo, just off the east coast of Vancouver Island. The journey here is typically a whole day event as you might need to … Continue Reading »

The past week has been a fairly busy week for the West End with the happening of the Vancouver Pride Festival. Various events and parties happen throughout the week but the most popular one which brings visitors from all the neighbouring communities of Metro Vancouver would have to be the Pride Parade, or at least it seems that way.
I don't know the best way to describe the Pride Parade but … Continue Reading »

As usual it seems that I am a bit behind in my blog posts. Last Saturday was the Finale of the Celebration of Light 2010 here in Vancouver. Keith and I planned on making it over to Vanier Park to photograph the fireworks from a different perspective, but Mother Nature decided that it was best not to.
Upon waiting for the bus at Burrard and Georgia we started to become a … Continue Reading »

I wandered around downtown Vancouver yesterday as I needed to get out of the house for a little bit. It was the day that Apple released the iPhone 4 to Canadians too so I did managed to head over to the Apple store. No, I did not pick up a new iPhone (though one day I would like to). I did see a couple of people waiting in line though; … Continue Reading »
