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.

Trout Lake
Sunday was a beautiful, ridiculously warm, day in Vancouver. Walking to the bus I saw a guy in shorts and a t-shirt. It was a little excessive, but it is getting close to summer on the west coast. I headed down to East Vancouver to hang out with my friend and took a stroll around Trout Lake. It was beautiful, it is always a good day when you can see the mountains. It is nice to be able to do most of the outdoor west coast things before I leave the province, but it is really strange to not have a real winter. Trout Lake is really relaxing, and a nice…

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.

Pacific Spirit Regional Park
After touring UBC we ventured over to Pacific Spirit Regional Park, on the outskirts of the university. It is so wonderful to be able to walk from the school into nature within a half hour. We didn’t explore too much of the park, but the part we did was spectacular. Everything is covered in a bright green moss, and mushrooms are cropping up near most of the streams. There were sections of the trail that are more bare and wide, and sections where you are fully immersed. Vancouver is unlike anywhere else I’ve been in Canada, I love being in the city one minute and the forest the next. Below…
