Like I have anything to say. Like any of us on Flickr have anything to say. I’ve spent the year staring through the lens, the last two actually, and so this somehow seemed like an appropriate shot for the last of my 52 week project. A photo of someone else looking through their lens, particualrly since the first shot in…

How often can you get this sort of shot without a human in it? Thanks to a wonderful monorail driver I did. She let me stay just that extra minute and held the other riders off so that I could get it.

We spent the weekend in Seattle to visit the International Motorcycle Show. It was really an excuse to get out of town for a couple of days and just do something fun, and it was worth it. We had a wonderful time, the weather was great Saturday, and tolerable Sunday. And this fellow was wonderful. He had the kindest eyes…

How can I not love it here? It’s the best city in Canada. I have the mountains in my backyard (literally) and the ocean in my front yard. The climate is mild, the food is fabulous, and any arts and culture that you can imagine can be found here. I love Vancouver.

What barriers get in your way? In many cases I bet they aren’t as significant as you think. So many of us take the most basic things for granted. We lose sight of the simple luxuries that we have in our endless quest to acquire more money, more stuff, more experiences. Step back for a moment and take in the…

Frosty this morning! And icy down on the docks at the Yacht Club. Even with all the salt on the docks, it was advisable to watch your step in case you might slip and head in for an unexpected swim. Just glad I got all my marking finished yesterday so I could enjoy today without any stress of what was…

Have you ever had someone take something intangible from you? It’s not easy to explain, but it hurts, even more so when it is a friend, and in the end they manage to damage the friendship, but they probably won’t understand what they did, mainly because even you can’t really put your feelings into words.

As this US Coast Guard helicopter circled around we took some shots of it. As it came close overhead (this is as close as it appears, probably no more htan about 30 feet overhead) I started to wonder what the downdraft would feel like. A split second later I was almost thrown to the ground! I spun around and put…
