Vancouver Seeds....well they were in Vancouver..and they were seeds

Umbrella

"It looks apocalyptic" is what we both said. So I played with it some more on Lightroom. I think it's pretty cool.

Shades of Blue

This lady and her hubby were obvious regulars to feed the pigeons at Westminster Quay. 

Roped In

I've always liked photographing rope and chains and fishing gear. I'm not sure if it's because I've always liked fishing and boating, or because I love photographing texture. Perhaps it's both!

Black and white

These ropes had some great lead weights on them. I loved the colours and texture here.

And here...

And here. I liked the turquoise rope here as well.

And they're off

A bit of rust, metal, and nature...

"Why Would You Want To Take A Picture Of Me?"

We wandered into a salvage yard in Steveston today looking for things to photograph. This man, who obviously worked there for many years, knew his stuff. He was an expert on rust and dirt and all sorts of grimy things. He didn't understand why photographers would want to photograph it. I have never asked someone if I could take their photo...a stranger that is. I felt compelled to ask. He had no idea why, but complied. I think I will bring him a copy of these. I liked him. We didn't ask his name. I think I will call him Rusty.

 

 

Sardis Drum Band at The PNE 2013

This is the Sardis Drum Band we saw perform in 2013 at The PNE. I wanted to post them earlier but it just didn't happen for some reason. They were very dynamic, very entertaining! If you look at their faces, they really have fun!
