Festivities

Under the watchful eyes of The PandaMen

October 23, 2011

Lighting & Photo by Mike Browne – Mike Browne was totally my lighting guy tonight. Thanks Mike! I set up the fireplace mantle today while Mike was at work. Disappointed with the results and too lazy to take it all down, I pouted and picked Mike up from his office. Once we got home, Mike [...]

Behind the scenes – a Halloween photoshoot

September 28, 2011

I got busy today and created a photo for October’s upcoming desktop calendar. SQUEEE! It was very fun. And as you can see, Mike helped. Something about piles of candies and plastic jack-o-lanterns is nothing but good times. Wait, those candy eyeballs are pretty fun, too.

Mooncake day already!

September 12, 2011

It snuck up on me this year, but today is the Mid-Autumn Festival – the time when the Chinese celebrate the brightest and prettiest moon of the year. My buddy at work reminded me of this tradition and he was all sad that he left his mooncakes at home. I picked some up on my [...]

August 25, 2011

I dropped by the Yaletown RoundHouse today after work to see the Papergirl art show. It’s a collection of pieces of art by all sorts of artists in Vancouver. I loved it. I walked around for about half an hour looking at all the pieces on the clothesline.

Don’t forget the Roller Girls

August 11, 2011

Roller Derby has made quite the comeback. I haven’t been to an official event recently, well, make that, ever, but I do remember one name from the oldie times of Roller Derby – Skinny Minnie Miller. I should go check out an updated version of this sport. It used to be WWE wrestling style on [...]

Carol Browne, Wedding Photographer?

August 11, 2011

Not that this photo has anything to do with weddings. I took this photo tonight, just a little bit after the Blue Hour. The sky was still a little bit blue, but only when I took the photo in a certain direction (?), angle (?), I’m not sure how that happened, but when I moved [...]

You know what this blog needs?

August 8, 2011

MORE FLEXING GLADIATORS! This is what you’ve all been waiting for! Oh wait…maybe it’s just me? Hairless dancing men? Some of them scantily clad? With bulging muscles? To thumping dance music? If you’re not into that sort of thing, I suggest you don’t scroll down any further. And depending where you are, you may want [...]

Today we had a little picnic for the birthday girls in Mission. We had excellent summer weather again, and this big tree provided a perfect shady, breezy spot for us. After today’s outing in the sun, I’ve decided to have more picnics. I’ll somehow convince Mike to have come with me. Picnics CAN be fun [...]
