• Vancouver Fan Expo ’15 Pt 2

    Vancouver Fan Expo 2015 featured incredible cosplay. Even when two people were the same character, their costumes were unique to themselves. As you enter the convention on the longest elevator in existence, the excitement builds. Lots of costumed characters line the walls, clump together in corners and wander the floor. The floor is a different story. You move as one entity, taking small steps as your eyes move from booth to booth. This slow crawl makes it slightly difficult to catch people for photos. It is great to see the detail in the pieces, and the makeup is often spectacular. This is my last Vancouver Fan Expo, but I hope I can…

  • Vancouver Fan Expo 2015

    I was not supposed to attend the Vancouver Fan Expo 2015. Luckily, a friend took my Friday shift and I got to explore the first day of the convention. “Hey, there’s Captain America.” The cosplay at this years event was fantastic. There were some guys I recognized from two years ago, and lots of wonderful new costumed fans to chase and photograph. I went mostly to see Karen Gillan’s Q and A, but unfortunately it was cancelled due to an illness. Jennifer Morrison, of Once Upon A Time, also held a panel and was lovely. She answered questions with humour and grace. It is so nice to see how much…

  • East Vancouver

    Walking back to my friends home I took a few shots of the street and the tracks. East Van looks so different then the rest of Vancouver, unique. I am going to try to get down there as much as possible before I leave.

  • Battle of the Brush S5E1

    I have been working Battle of the Brush on and off for two years now. This incredible event, created by Golden Brush Art and held at Heritage Hall, featured five teams of artists creating a work of art in 80 minutes. The theme for the first episode of season 5 was Beats on Canvas, and the works were diverse and beautiful. Here are some photos from the first half of the event:

  • Beach Day

    On Monday I walked to the Maritime Museum in Kitsilano and sat on the beach. Apparently it was a dog beach, but that made for some great photos.

  • Granville Island Harbour and Seawall

    Vancouver has decided to skip winter and move right on to spring. Yesterday, I took a walk through the Granville Island harbour and along the seawall. It was the perfect day for a walk along the ocean.

  • University of British Columbia

    On Monday, a friend and I went to the University of British Columbia. We originally intended to stroll through Pacific Spirit Regional Park (we did at the end of the day), but ended up walking across the massive campus. UBC is beautiful, old buildings sandwiched between new glass buildings, interesting structures and stunning sights. It has been warm and sunny in Vancouver, perfect conditions for great photos.

  • Brothers Creek Loop

    On Saturday I ventured to my friends house on the North Shore. We planned for a photo adventure and settled on Brothers Creek Loop. We weren’t out for too long because of the rain, but I did manage to get a few good shots. The fog on the water was so thick, and we were so high up that you couldn’t see anything, but it was stunning. Everything was so lush and green. The trail was great, clearly marked paths but you could still explore. The trees were massive, and there were lots of streams, and bridges. It was a fun day, and hopefully next time when we go out…
