It is the sign of a true artist if you wait till the last minute to submit your artist proposal on the day of the deadline from a crowded bar right? That is what I just did here at On the Edge Pub in Gastown. We are crammed in to watch Canada Kick some US ass & while drinking beer with a laptop I officially tossed in my name to be considered! If you haven’t already you need to RSVP for this show! I could tell you all about it but this video will be far more coherent then this jerk in a bar will :)

Now back to the beer :)

Yup just saying

These are part of an art installation down near the Olympic torch. Fun!

Man, I only just discovered this today. I so wish that I knew about it in December, although we were moving as was everyone else in the world, so maybe it is a good thing… Anyway, I can often be found wondering about how I could go about using my camera for good, and this is such a great concept.

I am definitely going to be keeping an eye on this and hopefully there will be something happening before next Christmas, but if not Christmas is only 303 days away. :)

On another note just got home from Paul’s for breakfast. I stopped in at Beau Photo and grabbed some more Black & White film/developer and a proper 4X5 sheet film rack for developing my Large format negs. I am thinking that I might do some sort of fun video or something all about the dieing art of the darkroom, I am not sure we will see.

Ya you should all head on down to false creek near the Expo ball to see the inukshuks that people are building in mass on the beach. My Fuji Instax Polaroid camera says so.

Yuppers more of my go Olympic things and take non-Olympic photos :)

This shot was taken from what can only be described as the heart of downtown Vancouver. I was standing on the centre of Robson Granville street. Something i could only do with out dodging traffic because of the Olympic street Closures. Thank you Olympics.

My goal this Olympics was to photo wander and take photos of non Olympic things at Olympic things.

This for example is the ceiling in the BC Hydro PowerSmart Village

and this is a vent outside the ridiculously big igloo on Georgia street

These are on the beach in false creek

This is the Main street Skytrain station.

Yup Fun stuff. Now I am hungry so we must go and eat!!

More photos from the adventures that @tryllbee & I had yesterday at Granville Island. I had forgotten just how much I enjoy shooting Black & White, and I almost never shoot digital with the intention of making it Black & White. If i am shooting black & white it is almost always when I am shooting with film, but I am learning to really enjoy shooting digital B&W in camera with the colour option if i desire.

Today was an awesome day. I got up early for breakfast with @coaxial & @tryllbee at the second best cheap b-fast eats in Vancity, Paul’s Place. MMMMmmmm… Then @trylbee & I photo wandered about Granville island for many hours, Super Chill, Super Fun. Then I thought that I lost a card wallet with eight 8gig cards in it which sorta was a downer, but then I found it and all was happy again, & then I discovered that it wasn’t Sunday like I thought but actually Saturday, meaning there was a complete other weekend day left, then we all went for Vietnamese food, then we watched the spotlight thingy in English bay, then we had Hot Chocolate and I was happy and it was fun! :)

I half expected to get tackled by Olympic security forces here being that this is an Olympic venue and all but there was no problems what so ever taking these sunset photos of the PNE

Now I am off for some breakfast at Paul’s with other early weekend rising peeps :)
