Procrastination is the lame, but I’ll get into that later.

I forgot, but the dog ate my homework… Err… Anyway, glad I’m out of school, there were only so many times I would use those lines, although they never worked. I have such a huge backlog of images that I’ve neglected to post. Each day I kept adding more photos and each day the task felt bigger to accomplish. Except today. So I came home and finished up a bit of administrative work and decided this is it, I’m going to post the photos I’ve been neglecting for so long.

So I have. These photos include our trip form Fort McMurray to Vancouver. Most of the pictures can’t adequately fit into more specifics, so, this is just a random album.

Well enjoy!

I miss these days, getting up early and being outside in the cool summer-morning breeze. Got this picture when I was on my way to the UBC Bus Loop from St. John’s College.

I love contrast when I comes to photos, not talking about the high-contrats fashion shoots, but contrast in a more black and white photo and so that is why I liked this photo. I got to work a little bit early and I was walking on Granville Street and saw two guys clearing our a former restaurant. That wasn’t what drew me, it was the silhouettes that made this photo for me.

I love the night feel of this photo, while it was shot on a very sunny morning, and not super early morning but around 9AM. That is what I loved about this photo. It offers some confusion, especially when converted to B&W.

During the sunset a few days ago, Lindsey and I went to Jericho Park. While we were there I got a picture of a duckling lit by the amber sunset light. I couldn’t stay long to take many more, the territorial ducks were very prevocational toward me…

This shot almost felt like a movie to me. I love how the sun shined through the grass, but also how it lights the grass itself.

I love this photo of Lindsey. It was one that I found as I went back through the last shoot. This goes to show you that you may find a great photo, even after you think you are done with an event.

I thought this photo was pretty fun, not only because of the water, but the colors of the fire hydrant really help give that summer fun feel.

Got this photo a few nights ago at the Festival of Lights. This one was hosted by China. Definitely the best firework display I have seen. It made me realize how much I missed by not witnessing the other countries that hosted the festival this year.

Motion makes moments is how I like to think of it. The sway of the crowd past the cop made this photo for me. It almost feels like the situation is a lot worse than it actually is. I remember when I took this photo that people were all laughing and having a good time, but this photo doesn’t convey any of that attitude.

I know I’ve shown this image before. Probably in the past day or two, but I really like it so I think it is worth another show. Shadows, lines, motion and flares are some elements that create my favorite environments to shoot in. This photo has so many of the aforementioned elements. I love how the morning sun just cuts part of the Arts center in separate segments. Then you add the young lady running across and and there you have it. A photo that looks like it belongs to another era, okay maybe it would if I made it B&W.

Another photo by the Vancouver Arts Gallery. This was taken when I left work a few days ago. I was leaving and the first thing that caught my eyes was the color of the ground, wherever the sun touches. Then after that I looked at the silhouetted couple talking in front of the water fountain. Those two aspects drew me in.

This man is obviously a highly-skilled artist. I’ve seen him make various legendary works, including the works of Rembrandt and Di Vinci, he also made a portrait of President Obama. But anyway I love the couple that is watching him paint here.

I’m so glad I used my 50mm for this shot, it wouldn’t have looked the same had it been shot with the 24-70.

On our trip from Fort McMurray we drove through Jasper National Park and that is where we found these guys. The were just hanging out on the shoulder of the highway as cars were passing them by, a few even sat down to watch people, I thought that was ironic.

This was one of the peaks were drove in Jasper National Park. I don’t have much to say about this photo, other than I thought the mountains in Canada are absolutely breathtaking.

Another photo of mountains, but this one has a more moody feel to it. Probably from the ominous clouds in the sky.

This was a photo I took when my Mom was making me Kashmiri Chai. If you haven’t ever had it, it is amazing. Just take my word for it. Starbucks can suck it! Hassan OUT!

Took this shot outside my parents house in Fort Mac. I always adored the lines my parents house created during sunset so one particularly beautiful night I went out and got this photo. Just to keep this in perspective, I took this photo at 11PM at night.

This always makes me smile and then feel sorry for the cute/sad dog. I don’t really know much of what to say to the fella but I did manage to freeze this photo. Every time I see this photo I think about how sad this pup was and how much he just wanted to come out to the party.

This photo really got me. Lindsey and I were heading to the Peter Pond Mall in Fort Mac and I saw these two kids pretending to be driving or flying planes, either way, they were going places. SO I thought I’d be a backseat driver and take a photo of their awesomeness.This really photo is kind of neat but feels very somber to me.This really photo is kind of neat but feels very somber to me.
