The Golden Zone

This part of town in Mazatlán is called “The Golden Zone” or as I like to call it, “The Gringo Zone” lol. There are a bunch of nice hotels, resorts and obviously beaches around here. I only went over here a couple times because I prefer something that feels a little more Mexican. But I …

More Beach

There is plenty of beach to go around for everyone in Mazatlán. Some areas of the beach will have plenty of people, but if you just go down the beach a little further you will surely find an empty part of the beach if that’s what you prefer. Something for everyone really. As you can …

Mosaic Mazatán

I love this sign and I love the street it’s on. This sign is right across the street from the beach. While we were in Mazatlán our apartment was on this street, but just like 5 minutes or so down the street. Our building was just around the bend by that cliff of the second …

Mazatlán

I shot this one from the top of Crestón Island at El Faro del Mazatlán. The hike up the mountain isn’t terribly hard, but with the heat you’re ready to sit when you get up there. Anyhow, we really enjoyed the views and the hike in general. I’d say this kind of a must do …

Life Around The Mural

I was walking around downtown yesterday looking for a photo. I saw this Tiger and Dragon mural and thought it would look good in a street shot. I shot relatively low so I could get more of the buildings across the street into the shot. The buildings across the street are kind of dull in …

Watching the City

I have always loved living in apartments. Especially an apartment with any kind of a city view. I haven’t lived in an apartment for about 15 years, but I’m sure I’ll end up in one again one day. I just find it so enjoyable to be out on the balcony watching city life happen. I …

35mm Waterfront Park

I took at little walk around Waterfront Park here in Kelowna one day to shoot some film photos. I was using my Leica M3 & 40mm f/2. I was shooting Fujifilm Superia X-Tra 400 35mm film. Sometimes this film seems so great and other times it’s just ok. I think on this day the film …

Buildings Alive

City buildings are so beautiful to me. The lights and just the general aesthetic of a big apartment building are so appealing to me. Everyone one of those lights has so much life within them. Each light is more than a simple light, a persons life is taking place within those lights. To me, those …

Kelowna Trees

All the trees in Kelowna really make such a big difference in the appearance of the city. I’m sure the same can be said for most places, but it just so apparent to me from this view. I’ve shot photos from around here in the winter and early spring before the leaves are out and …

From the Taxi

I shot this photo when I was out on the high seas aboard the Vancouver water taxi. It was a long and tumultuous journey across the pacific, but we made it! I shot this photo just before we arrived at the Aquabus Ferries – Hornby St Dock and to our new lives as people who …

We got it all

Lots of apartments in Kelowna! If you want an apartment in a high building, we got it, you want a low building we got those too. You want a house, definitely plenty of those! We got lake front houses, houses on a mountain, regular neighbourhoods and rural ones. Whatever you want, we got it. You …

An Evening in Kelowna

I went to go shoot some photos of the city a couple days ago. I parked my car and started to walk around the base of a local hiking area called Knox Mountain. I was shooting photos and searching for the right angle that I wanted. I ended up hiking a lot further than I …

Dark on the High Road

I shot this photo last night from a dark road indeed, but the road I am referring too in the title is actually the road behind the buildings. There is a light seemingly streaking though the air behind the buildings. That light behind the buildings is actually a car driving down a road on the …
