I think I shot this photo back in September. There was some fires in Washington state at the time and the smoke was traveling up across the boarder into Vancouver. The smoke didn’t look so great during the day, but as the sun started go down it looked better and better. Thanks for stopping by, …

Buildings by the Park
If you’re gonna live downtown in a big city, living by a park would be ideal. This is part of David Lam Park in Vancouver and it’s bigger than it looks in this picture. Anyhow, I’ve lived in a lot of apartments in my life, but never across the street from a park like this. …
A Look Down Kingsway
I have always appreciated the view of the city while driving down this stretch of Kingsway in East Vancouver. I was driving down the street last weekend I decided to pull over and shoot a photo of the scene. I spent a lot of my childhood running around this part of the city and it …
A Beautiful Entry
I was walking down the street this weekend when I noticed this beautiful entry way to this old apartment building. I love old buildings and this entry is just awesome. To me, walking up to this door everyday is much more appealing than walking into a a shiny new building. Anyhow, I live in a …
Crossing 2nd Ave.
Well it ain’t Abbey Road, but 2nd Avenue in Seattle has its own charm to it. It was a little smokey to the south in Seattle on the day I shot this photo, but I kinda like it. The main thing I like about looking down 2nd Ave is the old pointy building down the …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Sunset in the City
Sunsets anywhere I great, but a sunset in Vancouver is spectacular. I love all the reflections off the glass buildings. This particular pictures doesn’t illustrate the reflections super good, but it’s there and it’s subtle shine is still beautiful to me. Thanks for stopping by, Rob
A Walk by The Water
Taking a walk by the water in Vancouver is super easy. The whole city is surrounded by water so if you want to be near the water for a walk a good path it’s not hard to find. I often find myself around these paths as I’ve almost always lived on this side town. Whenever …
