The otherworldly textures of Yellowstone National Park are truly something to behold

“Believe it or not, somewhere between the cigarettes and the philosophy, this is where culture is born” captured @ Emily Carr on Granville Island. I found this sign particularly relevant because it demonstrates some of the local angst around the Olympics.

I love this shot because it makes my head wrap around itself!

Randomly invited into a gallery during the Olympics, I found this amazing piece and worked with it for a few minutes taking about 40 or so shots before I could get the one I wanted.

I have so many photos of the incredible road-trip last summer that are yet to be published online, but where do I even begin? Maybe if I upload a few to Flickr every day for a few weeks I can get through them eventually? Regardless, there is some truly breathtaking stuff in there. This shot is one example, the clouds and the steam meshing together to form an unwoven tapestry of nature. Sometimes HDR processing is necessary to approximate what the eye can truly see, this was one of those occasions.

Taken during the Olympics; this sunset was particularly beautiful! Much better than the rain that’s falling on Vancouver these days.

While I didn’t spend a lot of time in the tent village, I swung by a few times. When I was walking along Hastings on Saturday most of the tents were gone. Here’s to the inhabitants of the tent village during the games and for all the homeless that have become the residents of Hastings St.

During the Vancouver 2010 Olympics the weather could not have been more beautiful (unless you were up on Cypress Mountain). This panorama was taken from English Bay with my back to Granville Island and. One of the great things about living in Vancouver is that even on an exhausting day, I can look up at the mountain skyline and receive exhilaration at the view. I know that wherever I live in the future, I’ll probably end up missing mountains in my life daily.

The last few weeks have been full of Vancouver 2010 crazyness but now that things are starting to settle back down I can return to a regular weekly posting schedule. I spotted these jellyfish at the Vancouver Aquarium when @jfeltis and @jennkane were visiting. Jane promised us that we were going to see orcas but it turns out that those orcas were actually

The Year of the Tiger rolled in with a bang on Sunday as Jane and I hit up the Vancouver Chinatown Chinese New Year Parade. In China, I’m sure they just call it New Year though. This was an awesome parade with all the dragon dancers and costumes but these dancers really captured the essence of the new year in my mind.

at Yellowstone Canyon, the lighting the backdrop and everything else was perfect for capturing this moment. Thanks to @serdmanczyk for being a great subject here!
