City School

I love old schools like the one in this picture. It is a perfect example of what comes to my mind when I think of a big old elementary school. The location of this school is just wonderful. Having the Portland skyline as a backdrop to this beautiful old building makes for good picture. If …

Banff Springs

This is the Banff Springs Hotel in Banff, Canada. It is pretty magnificent sitting on the side of this mountain and equality amazing inside. I love old buildings like this and wish there was more of them around here. Although, having this one sitting pretty much alone in the middle of this massive landscape does …

Portland from a Bridge

This is the view of Portland from the Steel Bridge. I was walking across the bridge on the other side and immediately knew I was on the wrong side. I don’t recommend doing this, but I had wait for a break in the traffic to run across the bridge! It wasn’t all that busy, so it …

Abandoned

When I was down in Mexico recently I had the pleasure of poking around an abandoned section of a resort. From what I heard these places got hit by a hurricane and the people who owned them didn’t have insurance and decided not to brother fixing them up. The site had a bunch of these …

Apartment with a View

I shot this photo on Saturday night. At first I thought I was going to shoot at a locationmuch farther from the city, but by the time my friend who was going me showed up at my house we didn’t have enough time to get any farther out of the town. Since I only brought this …

A Few Cents On The Sign

This cool old spot is Browns Tavern in Spokane, Washington. It’s a wonderful little place my wife and I stumbled upon one morning while walking around the historic Browns Addition neighbourhood. While talking to the lovely waitress who was serving us, I mentioned how I liked the sign. To my surprise, she told us the sign …

Old Building in Bellingham

This is an old picture I found a hard drive I was poking around on yesterday. I used to live 20 minutes away from Bellingham (Washington), so I would spend a lot of time there. This is just a random snap I took while walking around one day :). Thanks for stopping by, Rob

Beauty of a Bank

Camera: Canon 6D & 17-40L at 27mm ~ Settings: f/18 – 1/400th – ISO 400 I really love old buildings like this. There are not many of these beauties left in Alberta. I’m not a proper Albertan, so I’m not sure what the story is with all the old buildings. I am assuming they just …

Colourful Front Street

Camera: Canon 6D & 17-40L @ 17mm ~ Settings: f/20 – 30 seconds – ISO 100 This is a look down Front Street in beautiful Penticton, BC Canada. Walking down this street gives a feeling of walking through a post card, everything is almost perfect. Brick buildings in odd shapes always do it for me and …
