Gum in The Alley

I have no idea why and I just dont get it, but people in Seattle have been sticking their discussing chewed up gum on the walls of this Alley (Post Alley). I mean, I guess it looks kind of interesting, but it also looks gross haha. Anyhow, I was walking by and I figured I’d …

The Seven Seas Building

This beautiful old building has seen better days. The building is probably better known as The Lusty Lady building. From 1985 to 2010 this was the spot for dancing ladies who liked to dress with less haha. This building is actually one of the oldest buildings still standing in downtown Seattle. It was built in …

Kelowna City Views

Kelowna is more nature than city. However, if you live in one of the buildings downtown you can get a decent urban view while still maintaining the whole nature thing. The city is built around this massive lake and is surrounded by mountains, so I don’t think you really ever loose the nature aspect of …

The Most Autumn Fire Hydrant

As I’m walking down the street I usually would pay no mind to any fire hydrant. However, this particular fire hydrant looks to be there most autumn fire hydrant of all time. I never really notice it before, but as I was walking by I couldn’t help but see the orange, yellow and black screaming …

Among The Buildings

My entire life I have felt most comfortable among the big buildings and urban lights in the city I live. Kelowna is a small city, so I don’t have the same opportunity you do in a big city to walk around and enjoy an endless urban landscape. In Kelowna, you have to seek it out …

I Went Back

If you saw my last post you know I wanted to get that same picture, but with sunset light. I tried to get there in time for the sunset but I was just a little too late. I stuck around the area and shot some other photos I wanted to try and then when it …

Fall in Full Swing

Well the fall weather is in full swing here in Kelowna. I’m trying to get out and take pictures while it lasts because the temperature is dropping and the leaves are really falling. I’m sure the snow isn’t too far off so I better take advantage while I have the opportunity. There is a little …

Awkward Eye

You ever hear that Dr. Dre song “Forgot About Dre” featuring Eminem? There is a line in that song: “One day I was walkin by with a Walkman onWhen I caught a guy, gave me an awkward eye”  Well that was yesterday and I took a picture haha. I actually saw this guy sitting in …

Pike Place Market

I was in Seattle recently and while I was there I made a stop at the Pike Place Market. I used to spend a lot of time around here when I was a kid so it’s always fun to come back here. Seattle has changed a lot since I lived there, but this market looks …

Two For One Dances

I was walking around New Westminster one night on the weekend taking pictures. As soon as I saw this bright neon sign from down the street I knew I had to get a shot. I crossed the street and found my composition. I shot a few photos that didn’t have any people in them and …

Another Leica M3

In the spring I sold my Leica M3. I enjoyed the camera, but I wasn’t using it as much as I thought I should be. I also found myself using other cameras a lot, but it wasn’t because I didn’t enjoy the M3, I just had other cameras I wanted to try. So I though …

Finding Inspiration

I haven’t been feeling very inspired to shoot photos in Kelowna these days. You can probably tell by the lack of Kelowna photos here on this blog. But I figured since I live here I better just force myself out the door and find inspiration or I’ll only take pictures when I go back to …

Joshua 13

My son Joshua has grown so much in the last couple years. He’s gone from looking like a kid to a full on teenager who is now the tallest person in our house! It all happened so fast. He’s still the same old kid he’s always been, but just in this big body now haha. …
