I took this photo quite some time ago, and for some reason just left it sitting on my hard drive ever since. I came across it today and decided it was about time is got its chance to be seen, so here it is. :-)
My lovely fianceé is most fond of doing things that make me fearful for her life. Like sitting on the edges of decrepit railing-less bridges, or walking across narrow concrete walls in middle-of-nowhere, Hawaii. On this particular occasion, she thought it would be fun to go exploring a creepy ghost [...]
My girlfriend and I recently took a road trip to celebrate our anniversary, and one of the towns we passed through isn’t even a town at all anymore. It’s a small ghost town in south-eastern BC that apparently was once one the the largest and most prosperous towns around during [...]
Time for another photo post. I decided to go looking through the archives again and I found this one of some traffic cones set up to block a street in downtown Vancouver. It’s an older photo of fairly mundane subject matter, but I am very pleased with the composition. As [...]
I’m really not sure why it has taken so long for me to post this photo as it really is one of my favourites. It’s another one of the Sylvia Hotel, but with a very different feel. As always, high quality prints are available of this image.
One of the most interesting encounters I had in the Dominican Republic was with this Gentleman. He was a “hustler” for one of the shops at the marketplace I visited, and he had a rather interesting offer; after determining that i was Canadian, he expressed his love for Canada, and [...]
I have been more than a little slow in getting any of the photos I took in the Dominican Republic this February published on this site. I had some technical complications. Namely, my laptop decided that the moment I opened up Photoshop upon returning from my trip would be the [...]
I made a sort of un-official New Years resolution to take more photos, hence the sudden binge of photo posts. This time I was having some fun with HDR, a much over used, and over abused technique. However, I think it suits the subject matter of Victoria’s Fan Tan Alley [...]
I snapped this one out the front window from the back seat. Turned out pretty good, all things considered. :) As always, high quality prints are available of this image.
Today we went on an off road adventure to the Virgin Falls just outside Tofino. The lighting wasn’t quite right by the time we got there for good shots of the falls, but I did snap this one of the water below that I am quite pleased with. As [...]
One more of Chesterman Beach, this one focusing on the waves. As always, high quality prints are available of this image.
I am currently enjoying an awesome vacation with my girlfriend in Ucluelet, BC. Today we took a drive up the highway to Tofino and stopped and Chesterman Beach where I took this photo. The are is probably one of the most photogenic in British Columbia, which is saying a lot [...]
I recently had the opportunity to be the official photographer for a fundraiser held by the Semihamoo Animal League (SALI), This image was my favourite of the evening. As always, high quality prints are available of this image.
A few years back in the midst of an impromptu road trip I made a stop in the town of Fort Steele. Perhaps I should say former town, as today there is no actual town, but rather the remains of what once was, and is now a tourist attraction preserved [...]
This photo was taken right after Canada won the gold medal in men’s hockey at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. I took this one candidly, and I just love the look on this lady’s face!
This photo was taken years ago with my old Canon A95. I usually have a policy of not listing my equipment but I am making exception because that was my first digital camera, and it’s the first “nice” camera I ever owned. It was stolen out of my car while [...]
This is the entrance to the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Chinese garden in Vancouver. It is such a peaceful place, always very quiet and tranquil, even when it is busy. As always, high quality prints are available of this image.
In the end photography is about capturing light. Some would argue that the lighting is in fact more important than the subject. Personally I differ, I think that it depends on several factors. Some genres of photography are subject centered, for instance, with any sort of documentary photography capturing the [...]
I spend a lot of time in Stanley Park these days. Often I just stick to the seawall, but recently I decided to explore a little deeper, and found myself around Beaver Lake. The cool thing about the animals in Stanley Park is that they are so used to people, [...]
I went on a little day trip to Harrison Hot Springs the other day. It was mostly overcast which limited good photo opportunities, but the old brick building around the spring was a great subject for a dull day. I still can’t quite figure out the purpose of this little [...]
