Victoria

I've been enjoying every walk in the city a lot more since this lettering project started. Keeping my eyes open for things like this.

Words are so important. And with imagery and photos, I sometimes forget that they are quite beautiful too.

The Bottom Line

Business is.. Business

Sail Heel

This was taken last month but I thought I'd post it anyways since it fit the July theme. And I like it..

It seemed a mystery as to why either of these things were here, in a back alley of Vancouver's Yaletown.

Picturing the lettering being made... It's pretty interesting.

The Water After Dark

I made it out last night to shoot some water scenes as the light fell behind the mountains.

I had an ND filter on to lengthen the exposure time and smooth the water out around the solid forms.

It's moonlight on the right, and some urban lights across the water on the left.

Across the Burrard Bridge

My brother made a few jumps over the Burrard Bridge, but I liked this one the best. Walking, sneaking, tip toeing across. Not sure if his weight will be over the limit..

Red and Yellow

I added some blur to the top and bottom to lessen the impact of all this glass. The two colours, red and yellow, seem to help focus away from it all too. Or maybe it's the other way.. The glass and reflections help frame these two unreflective coloured cubes.

Ice Skating

Friends don't let friends not skate....

Toronto Skyline

On our visit to see my Toronto out-laws over Christmas, we flew from Boston to Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport. The airport is on an island in Lake Ontario, very close to the edge of downtown Toronto, giving us a good view of the CN Tower and surrounding buildings.

The timing was fortuitous in terms of the position of the sun, and the weather was totally cooperative, with very blue sky and nice puffy clouds. As I shot, some of the clouds passed between us and the top of the 1815-foot spire.
