I took a little trip out to Fintry Provincial Park a couple days ago to shoot some photos and make a video. I was doing a little review of the Nikon Nikkor 14mm f/2.8 lens. I shot some photos in this abandoned house and then made my way up a mountain to a this waterfall. …

Nelson Street Scene
I have always liked street scenes like this. When I look at pictures like this I always wonder things like “Where are those people going? I wonder where they are now?” I like to see life in the streets of whatever city picture I’m taking, it makes the pictures interesting to me. Of course this …
Annie in the Alley
I always love looking down this alley because of the eclectic collection of painting in this one. This is actually down the same alley as the barber shop in the pervious post. This Annie painting always stands out to me though. If your walking by the Annie just kind of catches your eye. I’m assuming …
Barber Shop in The Alley
I’ve never got a hair cut while in Nelson, so I cant say if this barber shop is any good or not. But I will say that if I did need a hair cut and I was in Nelson, this is the place I would go without question. There is something about entering the shop …
Minolta in Nelson Part 2
I uploaded the second part of my Minolta 800si / Nelson BC video yesterday. In the video I walked around a couple of my favourite parts of town and shot some photos on Kodak Gold 200 35mm film. I’m happy with how this video turned out, so I think it’s worth a watch. The picture …
A Castlegar View
I shot this photo a couple weeks ago in Castlegar, British Columbia. I used my Minolta 800si & AF 50mm 1.7 with Kodak Gold 200 film. I find that this film really shines with nice light like this. I shot a bunch of other photos this same day with the same film, but the pictures …
Kodak Gold & My Minolta 800si
I went to Nelson, BC last weekend to shoot some 35mm film and make a video. I was shooting photos with my Minolta 800si, AF 50mm f/1.7 & 28mm f/2.8. I shot a 24 frame roll Kodak Gold 200 film and it was the only roll I brought on the trip, so I had to …
Stranger on the Bridge
I met Abel at the Peace Bridge in Calgary. We were both out shooting photos. Abel was shooting photos of the bridge and I was shooting photos of people at the bridge. I walked up to Abel and asked him if I could take his picture and he was totally down with it. I honestly …
Parking Meter Beauty
I was walking down the street in Penticton, British Columbia when I noticed this beautifully painted parking meter. I have no idea if the city sanctioned this painting or not, but it look as if they are ok with it as this parking meter is right in front of city hall. Either way, I love …
Penticton Japanese Garden
I was in Penticton yesterday just walking around taking pictures. I found this beautiful little Japanese garden. I love the colours of the trees and leaves in here. I was so happy to find this place yesterday because I didn’t feel like I had found any good pictures before I found this place. All the …
Going to The Sun Road
I shot this photo a while back when my family and I were driving on the on the “Going to the sun road” in Glacier National Park in Montana. I wasn’t expecting much for the drive but I was pleasantly surprised by how beautiful it was. Now that I’m back in living in British Columbia, …
Unassuming in Puerto Vallarta
This house on the corner looks so unassuming on the outside, but I bet it’s amazing on the inside. The house itself looks pretty big and has multiple terraces with what looks to be a nice little third (or forth floor, depending on what street your looking from) floor stand alone room or studio. Whatever …
Big Hike Day
Last week we had some family in town so we decided to take a what I though was going to be a little hike. Turns out this was in fact a big hike! Of course it was so sunny and hot going up, but by the time we got to the top it was pretty …
