I bought this little die cast VW Vanagon Westfalia to take pictures of during the winter months when I can’t take pictures of my real van haha. This is a 1:18 scale model of what looks to be a 1981 or 82 air-cooled Volkswagen Westfalia van. The detail on this model is pretty bang on. …

Nice Place
So I was walking around Waikiki one day just looking around and taking in the sights when I passed by this beautiful hotel. I stopped and admired it for a moment, took a picture and went on my way. I’m sure this hotel is just as nice on the inside, but without a doubt the …
Sunset End
I just caught the end of this sunset a few days ago on my way home from work. While I was driving I could see the amazing light shining on the buildings downtown. Unfortunately the traffic was moving slower than I would have liked and I wasn’t in a good area for a decent shot. …
Misty Mountains
My friend and I randomly ended up taking a hike up this trail one day when we drive my Westfalia out the mountains. We were on our way to a lake spot I knew to take some pictures when we decided to take a left instead of the right which I knew would take us …
That Time I didn’t Jump In The Lake
These photos are from a trip I took to Vernon BC in the summer. My wife Michelle, our children and her sister and her sisters boyfriend all decided to go jump in the lake to cool off on what was surly a hot day. The beach they were going to didn’t have fine sand (more …
A Night At The Beach
When I was in Puerto Vallarta in the spring I took many late night strolls around the city. The night I found my self at this location I had just been there earlier on in the day time. During the day the beach was packed and there were people everywhere. Even thought I like a …
Thunder Bird Motel
I was on my way out of Missoula Montana and I needed to fill up my gas tank. I stopped at a gas station across the street from this motel. The sign caught my eye right away and I knew I had to get a picture. I am sure that sign must look awesome at …
Urban Sunset
Sunsets over a city are always the best to me! I love the light shining off the glass buildings and different reflections in the windows. Usually when I shoot a sunset like this I get more of the city, but the tighter shot does show more detail and is pleasant to look at in its …
Grizzly Bear
My family and I were driving through Glacier National Park this summer and we saw this Grizzly bear just wandering along the side of the mountain! The longest lens I had with me was a manual focus Canon FD 100mm f/2.8. When we saw the bear my camera had on a 24-70mm so I scrambled …
BMX Riders Be Crazy!
About a month ago I took my 2 sons up to Edmonton to check out a skateboard & BMX contest. I grew up skateboarding, so while I was having fun watching the skaters, my sons were much more interested in the BMX’ers and I don’t blame them. These guys are crazy! The high flying flips …
I've been posting some of my families van pictures here and there on another blog (wordpress.letsgowestfalia.com). I figure I might as well reblog some of the post here too. :)
On our first drive through Glacier National Park in Montana I was completely blown away! I had no idea how beautiful it was. When we passed this spot on the way down I knew I needed to make a stop there to get a shot of the mountain and the van. Since stopping would be […]via My Westfalia Wallpaper from Glacier National Park — ∞
A Colorful Street
While I was roaming the streets of Puerto Vallarta one night I passed by this street. I thought all the colorful flags were a nice touch, so I walked to the end of the street and shot this photo. Puerto Vallarta is such a wonderful little city, I hope to go back again soon! Thanks for …
Stray Cat
I bumped into this stray cat while walking around a random neighbourhood of Puerto Vallarta one day. This cat wasn’t exactly friendly, well he wasn’t not friendly, he just didn’t wander over to me or anything. As I tried to get picture of him he immediately decided to walk off. I kept trying to shoot …
