I moved to Vancouver in 1987 and fell in love with the West Coast and everything that comes with living here. Even though I grew up far north of here, the Lower Mainland became "home" almost instantly. We have the forests, the mountains, the ocean and the rivers. And sandwiched in between all that, is a wonderful city full of diverse cultures. I can't imagine living here without a camera...in fact, I can no longer imagine not living here. I love Vancouver, I love British Columbia, I love Canada, I love the world, I love the emotion that a photograph evokes. I have a PhD in the biological sciences but I never want to stop learning, and that includes learning how to see. We all use our eyes to navigate the world around us, but at some point, as we grow and age, we stop truly "seeing" the wonder in the world around us, including what we perceive to be the mundane. We become too caught up in our lives. We forget to appreciate the little things. Almost everything has inherent beauty, we just need to look for it. Welcome to my views of the world.
68/365 (March 9, 2010) – We often joke that Spring starts January 1st in Vancouver. Sometimes that’s not entirely correct, but this year seems to be one of those early Springs I enjoy so much. While there is a chance of snow flurries in the forecast, it’s not likely to amount to much, and it’s certainly not deterring the flowers in my garden!
