A few more from the day before.

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”, [...]
Second go at assisting on a fashion shoot.
About a month ago fellow photographer Nhi Le of www.noyophoto.com was gracious enough to invite me along to assist him and his team for the day on their fashion shoot. I’ve quickly learned that these fashion gigs are an extremely collaborative process that require not only a model and photographer but also stylists/coordinators, makeup artists [...]
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 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 [...]
Save on Meats
FINALLY (the word is emblazoned in capitalized lettering for emphasis) getting around to Save on Meats, I had the pleasure of enjoying a lunch with Irv (@IrvLau). I actually work within walking distance of restaurant/butcher shop and I have been meaning to go since the grand return of the iconic Downtown Eastside diner (hence the [...]
