Broadway and Subway
On the way home from work today I decided it was time for a change. I need to take more photos everyday. So with that said, I can talk about the day. I took a couple of cool shots today after work. I was on the skytrain and as I was leaving the Broadway station [...]
Courtyard Croquet
Last week wonderful St. John’s friends invited us to play some croquet, well actually we just invited ourselves, but just pretend it was the former. And so we, Lindsey and myself, seized on this opportunity to try to learn this game. It was definitely an interesting experience. I loved the concept of having a hammer [...]
Night Time In Vancouver and the hunger that motivates
A few weeks ago I went out to get some food and decided to make the trip to the Japadog in downtown Vancouver. It was a Saturday night so Vancouver was as lively as ever. What fascinated me the most was the lights and colors you see when you are doing night photography, especially when [...]
Brownopoly, reverse colonialism never felt so good.
So Lindsey and I just got back from Brownopoly, or as the rest of the world knows it as Monopoly: India Edition. Though I wasn’t playing (Lindsey was playing, I got to, well, snap pictures) I did get to partake in a few decisions with Lindsey… Yes, we still lost. There were many rivalries, like [...]
Gastown with Lindsey
Went to Gastown a few days ago with Lindsey and so I decided to take a few pictures. I’m sorry I’m being somewhat short today, yeah like twenty words, but gotta get up early, but I will be starting to post more now.
Critical Mass in Vancouver
Last Friday I was doing some “work” at Blenz Coffee on Granville and W. Broadway, okay I was just surfing the net and drinking coffee, but in this day and age how can that not be considered work? Well back to what I was saying. As I decided to head home, I came out of [...]
Vancouver Blogger Meetup
On my sixth day in Vancouver I decided to be proactive in finding people who have like interests. I didn’t know anyone and this I thought would be the perfect way to cheat and make people know me. You all were schemed in to befriending me! So I jumped on Meetup.com, a social network site [...]
Vancouver: Gastown, Kids and the Skytrain
Yesterday I was bored and decided to leave the house. It was raining all day and it was a complete drag, but then again this is Vancouver… So rain is to be expected. So I did what I usually do. Hope on the Skytrain and go to some stop, get out and explore and that [...]
Vancouver, Stanley Park, Coal Harbor and More
Today was a very busy day for me, busy but enjoyable. I set my alarm for 5:45 am and so I ignored the alarm until 9 when I finally got up. I decided to go out and see the city a little bit more. So I jumped on the Skytrain and headed to the Waterfront [...]
First day as a resident of Vancouver
Puddle Jumper planes are not what they are made to be, I just wanted to say that… Sorry It has no relevance to this post. But wow, the flight up here was quiet turbulent. The scenery made up for all the strong winds and bird dodging, I’m going to assume that is what the pilot [...]
Dalwadi Family Photos
Last week before leaving for Vancouver I had the pleasure of photographing a very lovely family. They have been most gracious to Lindsey and myself and I appreciate everything they have done for us. Also, their daughter is one of the cutest and mild tempered children I have ever met. She is also very smart, [...]
Local Elementary School Talent Show
It has been a busy few weeks, from working full-time at the day job, to freelancing, designing, blogging and helping others with their blogs. Okay “from and to” sentence structures weren’t ready for me, its okay I give myself a pass for working while my brain is in mush mode. So back to what I [...]
World Press Freedom Day
I know 5 PM is rather late to be posting an entry, but this is an important entry for an important day. Today is World Press Freedom Day and so that means I want to remind all the people that will read my blog about this special day so they can also pay respect to [...]
May Week 1: Five Sites Journalists, Photojournalists and Designers should visit
I’m always looking for interesting blogs and websites to visit and usually how I find them is the same way I hope my blog is found, by linking. I go from one blog to another like no one else and at times I’ll have 20 or so tabs open in my web browser so I [...]
Photographers and the Content War: Agence France Press v. Daniel Morel
Recent technological changes in photojournalism have given us the ability to see and show photos of events as they unfold, instead of waiting for them after the fact and while this seems like a better way for photojournalists to distribute their work in a timely manner and build up revenue, this advancement has also put [...]
Helicopter disappointment, but great images from Skateboard Park
Today I shot a few stand-alone images for the Saturday Special Section of Fort McMurray Today, well I didn’t really plan it but it did work out that way. I went with Lindsey to work today, although normally I would just drop her off and head back, well today was suppose to be different. I [...]
Vancouver: University of British Columbia Campus and Beach
Image via Wikipedia So on our last full day in Vancouver I had a meeting Dr. Mary Lynn Young, the Director of the Master’s of Journalism program at the University of British Columbia‘s (UBC). I went to my meeting at the Journalism School at the UBC campus and I met a lot of great people, [...]
Vancouverage Night III: Dock Walk for Bubble Tea
One of the nights during our stay in Vancouver, the three of us decided to put our fatigue aside (or maybe that was just me) and take a walk down to the harbor. We were staying quite close to the water and wanted to check it out. And of course, Hassan craved bubble tea, so [...]
Guu… Tapas? Sushi? Yes Please!
As I look back on our epic trip to Vancouver, one of the many delicious food experiences stands out. In attempt to find the fresh sushi we’d heard so much about, we decided to stroll on over to Guu on Thurlow Street. We were surprised to find it was more Japanese cuisine that sushi, but the [...]
Vancouver Day II: Bread Garden, Street Performer and Rocky Mountain Chocolate Company
On our second day in Vancouver we hit the ground running since we were all so tired the day before from the trip here. We woke up early in the morning and went to get some breakfast. The original plan was to hit up Café Crepes and grab a sweet or savory Crepe and munch [...]
Visiting Granville Street at night in Vancouver, British Columbia
Although I was completely exhausted from being out all day and since neither Maria or Lindsey were physically capable to go out either, I decided to take the opportunity to do some night photography in the City of Vancouver. We were staying at the Listel Hotel on Robson Street and I started walking around and [...]
First Day in Vancouver, B.C.
Today we finally began our three-day conquering of the major metropolis of Vancouver. After a pretty horrible day of traveling through a freak April blizzard on Friday through the night and into this morning, we were all exhausted upon reaching our destination. And I must say, when our plane landed, I wasn’t too impressed. I [...]
Don Guacamole, southern taste in the Great White North.
After a grueling eight-hour drive to Edmonton from Fort McMurray and a one-hour flight from Edmonton to Vancouver, Lindsey, myself and Maria (my sister) hit up the first decent looking restaurant we could, this just happen to be a Mexican restaurant called Don Guacamole. Our waitress was nice, but she was a little slow getting [...]
