This sculpture is on English Bay Beach, Vancouver. I shot the roll with this image the day I found out my friend Bob Goyetche had passed away, but I only developed it this week. I was numbed and in shock that morning (like a lot of people that day). I feel the tragedy of that day imposed a symbolism on everything I saw.

From Wreck Beach, Vancouver. The light was furtive and changing. This light did not last long.

This past weekend I created some portraits of my friend John Russell in Taylor Creek Park. He noticed some tree trunks had been carved at one end, and so we worked it into some of the images.

I am still working my way through the film from Vancouver. These are three additional images of the starts leading up from / down to Wreck Beach in Vancouver. All taken with my Hasselblad 500C/M, on HP5+ film, developed in LegacyPro EcoPro Ascorbic Acid developer.
Seen outside the Museum of Anthropology, UBC, Vancouver.

Beside the Museum of Anthropology at U.B.C, are steps down to Wreck Beach. It’s a lot easier going down than coming up! (Approximately 480 steps by our count)

I love images that have interior frames. This image is from the Chinese Garden in Vancouver. It was not a bright afternoon and I did not have a tripod with me to get the smaller aperture/slower shutter speed and larger depth of field I would have preferred for the colour film shot. I took the black and white retro-styled image with my iPhone and the Hipstamatic app.

I liked this structure in Vancouver; it seemed to go with the cloudy/drizzly day.

Back to fall colours in Toronto, although what struck me about this scene was the monochromatic tree branches looking almost metallic against a background of colour.

For my second Stanley Park image I go to the shore; my eyes were instantly drawn to this magnificent jumble
