Fogcouver Part 1
The fog has made a comeback in Vancouver. After my hair appointment, I followed Main Street down to C.R.A.B. Park. It was eerie seeing the ocean covered with fog, but Gastown and the train tracks looked stunning.

Gastown
I was looking through my photos recently and realized I neglected to post my Gastown shots. These were taken a few months back when my father was in town, and contain some of my favourite photos from Vancouver. Enjoy!

Portland Pt. 2
The architecture in Portland is outstanding. All the old buildings, stone streets and large trees makes Portland beautiful. Walking the streets and looking around was the best way to spend time, we barely went into any stores. Although we did find our way into Nordstrom Rack, where I got a Marc Jacobs coat for 140 bucks, 200 dollars less then the regular price – unreal. Anyway, here are some photos of the stunning buildings, enjoy!

Portland
When my parents came into town last week, we took a quick trip down to Portland. The city was a lot different then I was expecting, but it was too short a trip to really get a feel of the town. The buildings were higher, and there were roads and bridges high above the water. It felt more boxed in, crowded and removed from nature. The architecture is stunning, all the old buildings and stone streets were beautiful and the transit system is incredible. We had just enough time to explore the depths of Powells, drink too much beer at a Brewery and get lost in the wrong part of…

Battle of the Brush Grand Finale Part Two!
I am thrilled to be working with the team at Golden Brush Art. Every year they hold a live art painting competition called Battle of the Brush and their Grand Finale did not disappoint. The theme was Fairy Tales, and while all stayed within the realm of Disney movies, the paintings were distinct and beautiful.

Rugby
In University, I took photos for the student paper, which mostly meant taking photos of some Rugby games. Recently, I was looking through my photos and found a few of the shots, enjoy!

Giants
The largest public art featured in Vancouver is the Giants by Brazilian twins Os Gemeos. They took over the concrete silos on Granville Island and created these incredible ‘giants.’ The work is beautiful from afar but close up the detail is insane. I can’t wait to see it when they finish!

Jelly Beans
Giant jelly beans are the latest public art installations in Vancouver. They sit along the seawall and are fully interactive. I watched a guy put his dog on top of one so he could take a picture of it, which is, I’m sure, exactly what the artist was expecting.

Georgetown
Every time I go back to Georgetown I am shocked by how different it is. As I grew up the town was expanding, but the past few years the town has grown quite large. This time, instead of focusing on the new sections of the town, I went to old Georgetown. Main street is picturesque, and in some pictures looks like a toy. The old buildings are beautiful, the street is perfectly groomed and there is an odd sense of comfort and safety as you walk the street. It is a wonderful place to visit and only makes me want to adventure around more small towns.
