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 …

A Laugh
These statues down at English Bay in Vancouver are so great. A friend and I were just walking by when this lady posed for a picture. I had to get it! 😄 Thanks for stopping by, Rob
A Splash of Paint
I was back in Vancouver a couple days ago. I found myself walk around the West end. This building has been here for as long as I can remember, but it was nothing to make note of. That is until the owners of the building decided to do this amazing painting on the sides of …
Since I was Out
I was on a location photoshoot this past weekend and when we left the location I accidentally left at light stand on location. The photoshoot went a little long and by the time I got home and realized I forgot the stand it was already dark. I figured since I was out I might as …
Parking Meter Beauty
I was walking down the street in Penticton, British Columbia when I noticed this beautifully painted parking meter. I have no idea if the city sanctioned this painting or not, but it look as if they are ok with it as this parking meter is right in front of city hall. Either way, I love …
Upside Down
I have no idea what’s going on with this tiny upside down sculpture or whatever it is. I do like it though, I think it’s pretty cool how how it seems to just be balancing there. This is right in middle of the East Village in Calgary. That is one think I like about Calgary, …
The Sails in Kelowna
This awesome public art piece in the middle of the photo is called “The Sails”. I’m not 100% if that’s the official name, but that’s what I’ve heard it been called. I think it’s a wonderful piece in a perfect spot downtown in Kelowna. I nearly didn’t share this photo because I though it would …
Bear
I love this bear sculpture or whatever you’d call this. It’s an amazing piece of public art and I love where the city placed it. This the second picture I have taken of this bear since I moved here and I am sure I will take many more of the years to come. I think …
Head of Security
This gigantic public art piece downtown in Calgary is a very popular photo stop for locals and tourist. It is with good reason too because the head is awesome! Security around this head is a little overboard though. For instance, don’t even think of climbing on it or even pretending to climb, security will be …
YYC Iron Horse
This cool horse is right in the middle of downtown here in Calgary. It is in this really cool city park that is attached to a train station. I don’t often find myself in this park, but every time I do I take a minute to admire the art. A couple years ago I took …
Scarves & Flowers
I was kicking around Esther Short Park in Vancouver, Washington one day when I noticed the statue of the old guy was wearing this beautiful knitted scarf. Although it did look a little odd with his iron suit, I thought it was wonderful. And to top it off, this nice little statue girl was giving …
Urban Sun
I was downtown yesterday shooting some photos for a client. While I was down there I thought I’d grab a picture for you all too ;). The gigantic head on the right is actually quite big and it is lit up a night. The sun and sun reflection on the blue building make a fun addition …
Bull City
I don’t have any idea what’s up with this bull statue, but I think it looks pretty cool in this setting. Another handheld shot with the Sony a7ii. For the lens, I was using the Sony fisheye converter on the 16mm f/2.8. Thanks for stopping by, Rob
