I was walking around San José del Cabo one night a few days ago. The streets at night around the town square are all lit up with these lights that criss cross the streets. The lights are strung along these little colourful flags and it creates this wonderful ambiance. As I was walking around enjoying …
A Week in San José del Cabo
I just got home from a week in San Josè del Cabo, Mexico. I haven’t left Canada for a couple years, so it was nice to get away for a bit. No matter where you live in Canada winter kind of sucks (with the exception of maybe Vancouver), so it was good to get back …
Arriving in Mexico
I shot this photo one day while walking down the street in Playa Del Carmen. I like to think she is just arriving in Mexico, because that is what I’ll be doing in a couple days! I’ll be arriving to the sweet kiss of the warm Mexican sun on Saturday and I can’t wait. 😎 …
A Random Walkway
Just a random walkway in Victoria, BC. I was just walking by and though all the brick looked cool. Plus it was nice bonus that some people were walking towards me. I find a picture like this is always better then there are some people in it. Next time I am in Victoria I am …
Richmond
Richmond has a lot of short buildings. The airport is in Richmond, so I am just going to assume that is the reason for that. I shot this photo from my Airbnb’s balcony when I was hanging out down there the other weekend. Thanks for stopping by, Rob
A Chilly Night in Chinatown
I shot this photo around 12:30am Victoria, BC. I always enjoy going out and shooting photos late at night. There’s usually minimal people around the city is quiet. Don’t get me wrong, I love shooting at 9pm too when there are people everywhere, but the two times are totally different experiences. When I lived in …
Leica + Canon
I’ve been shooting with a collapsable Leica Summicron 50mm f2 lens (see 2nd photo) on my Leica M3. I have enjoyed using the lens and I am happy with the results I get with it, but pulling the lens out every time I want to take a picture has got a little annoying. On top …
Magic Mike
This is a friend of mine, Mike. I actually met mike randomly one day in a store. I couldn’t help but notice he was carrying a Leica M9. He had this magic tape over the Leica logos on his camera, so it’s surprising I was able to even spot the camera 🤪. Being intrigued by …
The Empress Hotel 35
This hotel in Victoria, British Columbia is outstanding! I love old buildings and this one does not disappoint. Normally I would have shot photos of this place a little wider than the 35mm I was shooting, but I only brought my Fujifilm x100T (with a fixed 35mm lens) with me to Victoria so 35 was …
Peaceful City View
There is something about city shots at night that I love. Everything looks so peaceful, but you know the city is alive. These are the types of views I can stare at for hours. I cant say I’ve ever lived in a house or an apartment with a real skyline view before, but I’d image …
Better at Night
Cities always look better at night. I shot this photo from the exact same spot as the last photo I posted. I took this picture with a Minolta 50mm f/1.4 and the last one was with a Nikon 105mm f/2.5. We were only staying at this place for a few days, but I kinda miss …
No.3 Road in Richmond
I spent last weekend Vancouver. There was two orders of business going on. 1. we were bringing puppy Cliff to his new family (whom met us in Vancouver from the Island). And 2. I was looking for car to replace my VW Jetta that my insurance company wrote off. Sadly I wasn’t able to find …
The Missing Puppy Pictures!
On January 6th I posted a story about our road trip to Victoria to drop off some puppies. See that post here. There was actually a bunch of pictures that went with that story. I just noticed that the pictures never got published with the story! WordPress has been a little weird for me these …
