I went out last night with a 70-200 and nothing else. It’s probably a good thing too because if I had another longer lens, I surely would have used it and I think that would have been a mistake. For this particular photo with all the colourful lights reflecting off the lake I think 200mm …

Late Night in the Park
I pushed myself out the door last night to go shoot some photos. I could see the leaves on the trees in front of my house were quite still, so I knew there wasn’t any wind. I figured it would be a good night to go shoot a photo by the lake. I had another …
Bench with a View
I was walking through City Park as one does in Kelowna. It’s a nice view of the city on the north side of the park. There are these benches a long the promenade and people are always there enjoying the view. This picture is super random as I could have shot any one of the …
A night for pictures
I went out to shoot some photos twice yesterday. The first trip I went out on I got absolutely nothing! Thankfully my son needed to be picked up downtown so I took my camera a long and went and shot a few more photos. I didn’t get much when it was time to go, but …
Rickshaw Paradice
I made my way downtown last night to see what was happening. There was a lot going on, but these rickshaws were putting on quite the show. These guys just take people for a ride and jump around and spin. The people in the carts seem to be having the time of their life and …
Cute Sign
I was walking down this weird street in Kelowna the other night looking for a picture when I noticed this cute snail sign. I kinda had to climb on this little fence to get a proper shot of it. I was shooting with my Leica M8 with a 50mm f2 lens which is manual focus, …
Still Alive
Well the return to this blog has been on my mind for a while. When winter hit I kinda just put my camera down and then had a hard time getting back into the swing of things in the spring. I’ve been shooting photos, not as much as I used to but I have been …
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 …
