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 …

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 …
Fall in Full Swing
Well the fall weather is in full swing here in Kelowna. I’m trying to get out and take pictures while it lasts because the temperature is dropping and the leaves are really falling. I’m sure the snow isn’t too far off so I better take advantage while I have the opportunity. There is a little …
Awkward Eye
You ever hear that Dr. Dre song “Forgot About Dre” featuring Eminem? There is a line in that song: “One day I was walkin by with a Walkman onWhen I caught a guy, gave me an awkward eye” Well that was yesterday and I took a picture haha. I actually saw this guy sitting in …
Joshua 13
My son Joshua has grown so much in the last couple years. He’s gone from looking like a kid to a full on teenager who is now the tallest person in our house! It all happened so fast. He’s still the same old kid he’s always been, but just in this big body now haha. …
My $25 Bike
I bought this old mountain bike off a lady for $25. I just liked the green and yellow/orange look. There wasn’t a hole lot else other than the colour and vintage frame that I liked about the bike, but I knew I could make it into something I would love with a little effort. So …
My New Van
If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter you probably already know I bought a new van recently. If not, then ta-daaa! haha. This is my new to me 1987 Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia addition. The funny thing is I already have a 87 Westfalia van that I have been working on. I’ve been doing some …
A Dark Night in Kelowna
I went out to shoot a few photos last night. I wanted to get out for blue hour, but sadly I missed it. I already had it in my head I was going to shoot photos so I just went out anyhow even though I knew it was going to be quite dark. It’s ok …
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 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 …
