Coffee Shop Corner Pictures

I was just hanging out at the Starbucks in Kerrisdale. I was sitting outside enjoying my coffee and as the sun was setting I just snapped a couple pictures. Sunset light is always so pleasing so I like that. The old guy walking by, well I don’t really have any kind of explanation for that …

On The Burrard Street Bridge

I decided to take a little stroll on the Burrard Street Bridge. This is probably my favourite bridge in Vancouver as I just love the way the top of it looks in the middle. It’s got such a wonderful old time charm to it and that sort of thing is not exactly easy to come …

Union Jack City

It was so dark when I shot this photo. I had to use the flashlight on my phone to change the setting on my camera. Anyhow, the view was spectacular in real life, but I cant remember if it was this good. I don’t think I could see them mountains as easily in the background. …

All The Buildings

I love all the buildings in Vancouver. I have always been a fan of big buildings in a dense setting and Vancouver has plenty of that. I shot these photos off the Burrard Street Bridge pictured in the last photo. I was standing just outside of the left side of the frame of the picture …

Better With a Person

I was walking around Granville Island when this beautiful art piece caught my eye. I stopped and shot a photo with this exact composition. Immediately after I shot the photo I thought to myself, “this picture would be a lot better if there was a person walking down the walkway”. So I stood there in …

Olympic Village Moment

This was my first stop in Vancouver earlier this week. The Olympic Village in Vancouver is awesome. Great location, great views and plenty to do and see in a small area of the city. I find Olympic village to be a really good spot for street photography as there are lots of people around and …

Vancouver

I took a quick little trip back down to Vancouver this week. I was only in town for two nights, so I made sure to make good use of what little time I had. I walked around shooting photo nearly the whole time I was there. I met up with an old friend of mine …

My 1st Pentax 67 Photoshoot

In early September I had the exciting experience of my first photo shoot using my Pentax 6×7 medium format film camera. I had been waiting on this day for a very long time so my excitement was through the roof. My brother in-law Robert was helping me out by modelling for me. I decided to …

What does it take to scratch a lens?

Ever wonder just how much abuse a camera lens can take before scratches will start to show up? I use UV filters, mainly for protection and I was wondering this exact question so I decided to put a lens to the test. I tried “cleaning” the lens with a few different things. I shook the …

Minolta 50mm 1.2 vs Pentax 55mm 1.8

I have been shooting with my Minolta 50mm f/1.2 for a long time now. I have always known the short comings of the lens and had accepted the trade offs (like lack of sharpness wide open) for the f/1.2 speed. I have also had my Pentax 55mm f/1.8 for a long time, but haven’t shot …

Back To Fujifilm

I decided life would be better with a little Fujifilm back in my life. I picked up this Fujifilm X-T2 for a smoke’n deal from Vistek (a Canadian camera store) and I am so happy I did. If you have been a long time reader of this blog you know I have some experience with …

The Dakhka Khwaan Dancers

These are the amazing Dakhká Khwáan Tlingit Dancers. How I ended up at this show is unbelievable. My wife and I were down in Vancouver for one night and one day to return some things to Ikea from our kitchen renovation and to pick up a bunch of stuff we needed to outfit our Air …
