Tofino Sunset

The wedding party went on hold (for just a few minutes) due to the amazing sunset. We went outside to take it in.

More from the beach

I guess I'm enjoying some of these the most right now. There will be different 'flavour' shots later :)

Beach Currency

I was here.

Surfing is timeless

Late for a great morning session



Tired and happy

Beach abstracts

Michelle and I spent a long weekend in Tofino. I've started working through some of the photos and will be posting some over the next few days.

First, some 'beach shots' :)


















A couple of the above I really like and think I need to take more of (we're going back in a month) to get them printed in a series.

Hope you had a good weekend.

Not forgotten

Now behind fencing, the old structure still stands, but for how long?

(You can't see the fence of course as I climbed up onto some barriers to take the shot over it ;) )

Busy day at Jericho

After doing the 'small loop' I ended up riding into Vancouver to meet up with Michelle for dinner after she was done playing footbag.

The group played longer than expected so I cycled a bit more and stopped at the pier at Jericho.

Easter Sunday

The rain finally let up this evening and after watching the Moto 250 race and some Art Wolfe's Travels to the Edge, I headed out with the camera.

Somewhat aimlessly I might add.

I guess I was just a squirrel looking for a nut. This one already found his.


It still wasn't warm enough for ice cream, so things weren't too busy



But people were definitely enjoying the beach this evening.



Bloody photographers ;)



No lifeguards on the beach yet, just a lonely crow keeping watch



I'm not sure which of these two I like better:





The benches were popular, it was nice enough to sit in the sun and just relax and soak it up after the nasty weather earlier today



Men will be boys



Cruiser chicks



I hung out on the rocks for a while myself and just watched people and the dogs





Reflecting:



The clouds were definitely still hanging out



I took my time wandering back and got the shot of the, now properly tagged, Malone's building for another project.



I guess I've been fairly busy with photography, I shot part of Jenn's wedding yesterday and processed all the images this morning. I uploaded them but haven't heard back from her, once I do I'm sure some of the photos will make their way here.

Have a good night.

Spring Beach Scenes

It was nice yesterday afternoon (though windy) and we went for a little walk.

You can tell it's springtime :)

I haven't been shooting much "street" lately and am trying to get back to it a bit.

Enjoying the Sun



Toques on the court




Strolling



Cruiser



Sometimes it's good to take another look at the 'same old things'.

Maritime museum



Looooonnnnngggggg Legs

Have a good weekend.

English Bay Photowalk

After having some coffee I wandered over to English bay. I hadn't shot with my super-wide angle lens for a bit and decided to switch along the way :)

The man in the mirror



Down There?

Into the mists

Shot during one of the snow storms from Dec 2008.


Hard to appreciate unless you see it large :)

King of the Log

Shot during one of the 'festival of light' nights summer 2008.

From the Dec 21 snow storm...

Kits Beach Tree in Snow

I like taking photos of this tree. In the snow is no exception.

Evil hoodie 'Peoplescape'

I've recently been introduced to the concept of the 'peoplescape' (think "landscape" ... but with people).

I ran across this as I'm reviewing some old photos. And again, I like it better now than when I originally shot it, mostly because it is different. And sometimes, different is good no matter what anyone says.

A sunny afternoon on Granville Island

... a.k.a. Canada Day 2008

The shot that inspired the title:



Not looking all that thrilled


I was going to try and come up with a theme for today ... but then gave up.



"Place a rock where you're from"



I did :)


Honey, I don't care how much you "heart" NY.


Had to have at least one B&W



Dude!



Demarcation line



The live Jazz was cool though.

This guy was standing perfect and then as I was going to shoot him walked away. I told him "Stop!" and his family was giggling as he couldn't figure out what I was trying to do. But he did follow direction and I got what I wanted :)



Same idea, different subject



Dress like a dork and ask girls to pose with you ;)



One girl looked at me and said "You didn't ask me if you could take my picture!". My response: "I didn't, did I?!" Then I posed her friend.



Happy Canada Day!
