Day 100 of 365 – “Three Digits”

I made it to three digits!

this one is in honour of a dear friend and her awesome backyard.

Day 84 of 365 – “Bubbles”

Day 69 of 365 – “Back to Work!”

Here’s another pic from the Pride Parade on the weekend. I particulary like this one for today because I’m finally back to work!

Day 56 of 365 – “Life’s a Beach”

It was a day of rememberance. Remembering the times T and I used to ride our bikes to the beach and smoke some *gasp* cigarettes. Although this time we have cars and the cigarettes are replaced with gin. Everything else was exactly the same.

Day 35 of 365 – “Going Up?”

Rule number 47 in photography… If something isn’t working – find another angle.

Day 14 of 365 – “Sharkey”

Today’s episode comes courtesy of a local Ladner restaurant called Sharkey’s. Sharkey’s has been around as long as I’ve been alive (at least it seems that way). However, it has never been as lively as it has been since the current owner has tried to inject some life into it. He’s done a fine job in my opinion (it has nothing to do with excellent selection of craft beers OR creative cocktails… nothing!) – no… I’m not getting paid for this write up. although I should!

Day 9 of 365 – “Reminiscent”

Today I headed down to Commercial Drive and took in the Italian Day festivities. Today I also discovered I’m not quite over my diffidence when it comes to taking pictures of strangers. This is something I’m going to have to get over if I’m eventually going to make a living at travel/culture photography. I watched photographers get right into someones face and take their photo and it just doesn’t seem right to me. It seems… invasive.

So my photo collection from today isn’t as great as I was hoping. No cute pics of kids getting their face painted or fun photos of people dressed up in their colourful getups. But I did the best I could without people actually seeing me take their photo. I’m posting my favourite.

Day 8 of 365 – “Sun Sippin”

So do you remember that time I was all “what happens if I do more than one thing and I like more than one photo?” and you were all “it’s ok to post a photo taken on another day”

well….

I’m doing that.

Because I went to the beach with my dog again and I know too much of that will get is annoying.

So here’s a picture I took last week of a cool guy.

I made it past a week everyone! (sort of)

Day 2 of 365 – There’s salmon clowning around

It’s day 2 and I’m finding it difficult to pick a photo. What happens if I did 2 things that day and I really like 2 photos? Am I to just scrap the other photos? Forget they every existed?
Perhaps I’ll keep them and secretly post them on a day I just can’t be bothered. That seems like a great idea as long as I don’t tell anyone.

This pic is of a local salmon barbeque that I walked past. Thankfully I had a friend with me that pointed out the photo op.
