I loved the wood grain on the various pieces of Haida art at the Museum of Anthropology at UBC in Vancouver.

Early Leaves
Leaves that changed too soon, but still had a glorious blaze. Recent events are imposing a symbolism over everything for me recently.

The End of a Season
Vancouver in November is definitely off-season. I wouldn’t call the feeling a malaise, just a sense that the party is over.

Bridge in Vancouver
We did not see a lot of the sun in Vancouver when we were out there, but when it did sort of peek out from time to time it was lovely.

Chinese Garden in Black and White
Another image of the Chinese Garden in Vancouver, this time in black and white. As mentioned in yesterday’s post it was getting dark quickly, and the Hasselblad is not known for being hand-holdable at slow speeds.

Chinese Garden in Colour
Another image of the Chinese Garden in Vancouver. It was getting dark very quickly by this time of the day.

Vancouver In Colour
For various reasons I am behind in posting recently, and it likely won’t get consistently better for a couple of weeks, but at least I can post something today. This image is from our recent trip to Vancouver, from Granville Island.

Tour Guide
Today’s image is of our tour guide in the Chinese Garden in Vancouver last week. It was late afternoon on a very dull day, so I had to shoot wide open at a low (for a Hasselblad) shutter speed. I’m surprised it turned out at all! Given the poor treatment of Asian Canadians in British Columbia (indeed all of Canada) in recent years, it was hard not to feel some shame, in the face of this man’s quiet dignity. He was old enough that he certainly would have experienced some of this first hand.

Skyline
Today’s post is the first in a series of film images taken during my time in Vancouver, B.C. last week. Although it did not rain the entire time, there was not a lot of sun, and for the most part the light was measured in degrees of overcast. This image is from Stanley Park.
