A Touch of Smoke

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. …

Nikon F4 Review

I got my hands on a Nikon F4 film camera this fall. I put together a short video review of the camera. I shot all the photos with a 50mm f/1.4D lens and Kodak Ektar 100 35mm film in the camera. I just took a little walk around the Japanese Garden in Kelowna, BC and …

I See You

Street photography can be so fun! I actually love this picture and the process of shooting the photo was so rewarding. I was driving down the street and saw all the leaves on the ground sounded by the tress with the light hitting the sidewalk just perfectly. So I pulled over and grabbed my camera …

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 …

Together New West

I was walking down the street in New Westminster one night taking pictures. I couldn’t help but notice the sign from across the street. There were cars parked on the street so I couldn’t shoot a photo of the entire painting from the other side of the street, that would have been ideal. On top …

Feeding the Birds

This guy feeding the birds was a nice guy. For one, he’s taking time out of his day to feed these birds. Two, when I talked to him he was very pleasant. I like people like this. This guy is out there having a good time and enjoying his life feeding the birds. Hopefully we …

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 …

The SeaBus

Downtown Vancouver is surrounded by water. Obviously this will create a lot of bridges in the city, but one way people get across the water from downtown to North Vancouver is this awesome “Seabus”. This ferry just goes back and forth all day and it’s actually pretty fast. I’m not sure what speed it travels …

Easy Pictures

It’s so easy to take nice pictures in Vancouver. It seems like you just need to point your camera in any direction and wa-la, your in business haha. I always knew Vancouver was beautiful, but all the years I lived there I don’t think I appreciated it as much as I do now. Thanks for …
