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 …
Another Leica M3
In the spring I sold my Leica M3. I enjoyed the camera, but I wasn’t using it as much as I thought I should be. I also found myself using other cameras a lot, but it wasn’t because I didn’t enjoy the M3, I just had other cameras I wanted to try. So I though …
A Cloudy Day in East Van
I was hanging out in Vancouver last month selling a few cameras. I had a little down time between appointments so I took a little walk around the Woodland Park area in East Van. I had my Canon QL17 iii with me and it was loaded up with an old roll of Kodak Gold 200. …
A Random Walkway
Just a random walkway in Victoria, BC. I was just walking by and though all the brick looked cool. Plus it was nice bonus that some people were walking towards me. I find a picture like this is always better then there are some people in it. Next time I am in Victoria I am …
A Chilly Night in Chinatown
I shot this photo around 12:30am Victoria, BC. I always enjoy going out and shooting photos late at night. There’s usually minimal people around the city is quiet. Don’t get me wrong, I love shooting at 9pm too when there are people everywhere, but the two times are totally different experiences. When I lived in …
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 …
An Oak Bay Sunset
While I was visiting family in Victoria I had a lot of nice opportunities to walk around the shoreline of the and enjoy the views. This particular evening I wasn’t even planning on going out, but I saw the sunset happening and since my in-laws live across the street from the beach I ran out …
Street Shooting with the Leica CL Rangefinder
When I’m out doing the street photography thing I like to shoot wide open. I just like the way the photos look that way better. This style of shooting with a rangefinder is quite difficult, at least it is for me. Nailing focus on moving subjects with a rangefinder patch isn’t exactly easy and since …
Vintage Snowman
My wife bought this awesome vintage snowman decoration for our house. I think it was supposed to just sit on your lawn or something, but I thought it would look better on our fence, so that’s where I put it. I love the smiling face of the snow man so I got a little closer …
Leica CL Rangefinder
Did I ever mention this beautiful 35mm Leica CL rangefinder film camera I have? I actually got this before I got my Leica M3, but the M3 has such a big reputation that the M3 kind of over shadowed this little beauty this past summer. I actually really love this camera. It’s small, light, beautifully …
Leica M3 Videos
I recently got a Leica M3 rangefinder camera. I’ve been shooting with it the past month and getting to know the camera. I’ve loved nearly every moment I’ve had this camera in my hand. It’s fun to use and it just plain looks cool. Loading film into this camera is not like any other camera. …
Watching a Movie
I was out walking around taking pictures a couple days ago. As I was walking through this park by the lake I couldn’t help but notice a movie set. I stopped to take a look and ended up chatting with a couple extras and some other people that were there watching. The movie they were …
