Reflections

September 23, 2011

Having earned the afternoon off (thanks, FWT!) from work, Mike and I met up downtown and headed over to my favourite place – Dr. Sun Yat Sen’s Garden in Chinatown. It was time to renew my yearly membership and Mike decided to get one too. Lovely! And just to seal the deal, the person at [...]

“Have your guy say goodbye to my guy.”

September 22, 2011

I spotted this outside of Waterfront Station this morning and started laughing when I saw it. Did you ever see The Lonely Guy with Steve Martin? While some people thought it was stupid, I LOVED this movie – especially the cardboard cut-out celebrity party. ANYWAY, there’s a part where he buys a plant for company [...]

That about sums up the day

September 21, 2011

Thank goodness for my camera. I had a full day of “Uh. Okay.” everywhere I turned. Before I even left the office, I pulled out my camera and took some photos out on Granville Street on my way to the bus stop. Was it a coincidence? Was it the weather? Why were there so many [...]

Time to read the manual.

September 19, 2011

That didn’t go so well for a few reasons. 1) I put the lensbaby on my camera plus 2) the big boy flash 3) I parked in a pay parking lot at Stanley Park but, 4) didn’t pay, so I was looking around for the Vancouver city truck to tow me away. 5) the camera [...]

What if?

September 16, 2011

I went over to the see the newly unveiled Terry Fox Memorial. I think it’s amazing. From a distance, the statues look the same size, but as you get closer, you can see the statues go from a huge one to a statue about 5 feet tall. Close up, there are a lot of nice [...]

A Steveston sunset

September 3, 2011

Mike and I went down to Steveston after dinner for a little sunset photowalk. I think today I finally understood the whole golden hour, soft white light thing. But I will never understand the socks and sandals thing. Heh. I’m going with a theme – silhouettes, as it was kind of the perfect night for [...]

Soothing

September 1, 2011

Some people call Vancouver The City of Glass. After a not one of my better days, I soothed my sorrows (including the fact that I’m pretty sure I’m getting a sty in my eye. Ew.) with my camera, the lensbaby, and the sunset under the Cambie Street Bridge. This activity immediately improved my day and [...]

The last day of Ramadan

August 30, 2011

Or at least I think it’s the last day of Ramadan – some of the calendars I checked had yesterday as the last day of the Holy Month for Muslims.

Other people’s art

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.

The working boats

August 24, 2011

I headed down to the Vancouver Convention Centre on a quick lunch hour break and saw a fishing boat out in the harbour. What? A work ship out there? I thought the Vancouver Harbour area was reserved for luxury boats only! I’ve seen yachts, cruise ships and the Sea Bus in that area as well [...]
