A few more from the day before.
Downtown Eastside
A couple of photos I liked from 2012 (365:46)
As the title of this post states:
Birthday Pho (365:16)
Today is my birthday. I don’t usually make much of a fuss over my own personal celebrations. For me it’s business as usual, but I would have to be made of stone to not appreciate the outpouring of love and affection shown by my friends and family. Besides my 12th birthday, where dad conveniently “forgot”, [...]
A polaroid lunch with a friend.
So I’ve been terribly backed up lately. Sandwiched between work and school I haven’t had a lot of time to get behind the camera or really do anything else of creative substance. I guess life just gets like that sometimes but in a situation like that there isn’t much that one can do but putter [...]
Harvest Community Foods
Harvest Community Foods is part organic grocery, part diner that not only serves the communities of Chinatown and Strathcona, but can thank interested residents for their business model as well. Born from a truly innovative idea, the owners of the commercial unit put the question of what kind of business the space should contain out [...]
Portrait of a Stranger: Carla Miranda
With the weather warming up just in time for the holiday weekend I took it upon myself to enjoy as much of the outdoors as I possibly could. Friday morning encompassed a leisurely bike ride around the Seawall and Stanley Park with some good friends. Saturday (starting at 5am) I was put through my paces [...]
An afternoon with Patrick Leung
After our most recent #604PhotoWalk, which can be found HERE, I got a chance to meet up with Patrick Leung (of www.patrickleung.com) again for another photo walk. Here’s what I captured. One of my favourite shots of the day. Older cars seemed to be a recurring theme during the day and I managed to capture [...]
#604PhotoWalk 7
Being so enamoured with the Fred Herzog exhibit at the Equinox Project Space it was decided that we would all go one more time to take it all in again. It just so happened that it was St. Patrick’s day as well, which created a lot of fodder for our collective creativity. Gathering a larger [...]
My first behind the scenes experience at a fashion photo shoot.
I recently had the privilege of being invited with my colleague Vince Chow (of www.vincechow.com) to a behind the scenes look at a fashion photo shoot with Nhi Le (of www.noyophoto.com). I have to say that snapping a few photos and learning the process from a photographer’s point of view provided me with some pretty [...]
#604PhotoWalk 6
Despite the fluctuating weather we had one of the largest turn outs to date for #604PhotoWalk 7. The meeting place no doubt played a role in generating interest in our gathering as we were all eagerly anticipating a thorough browsing of the newly opened Equinox Project Space which featured none other than famed street photographer [...]
Commercial Drive: One more time!
Inviting myself, in an obliviously shameless way, to Brian’s (@bdshaler) street photography class, I made myself scarce until the group had broken up for the assignment. To set the scene the meeting place for the class was Il Mercato on 1st Avenue and Commercial. I literally had not stepped foot into this little semi-mall for [...]
A few hours around town.
Desperate to get out of the house and stretch my legs I was joined by an old friend to head out on a nocturnal walk around town. Crossing downtown twice (once on both the short and long axis) and then circumnavigating False Creek, I didn’t find much in the way of photo fodder. This creative [...]
