This is now the sixth week of my Before and After photo series. I was a bit stumped this morning when trying to think of a theme so I just started typing random search words into the City Archives photo database. Photo: Philip T Timms – Item #: CVA 677-565 What I ended up with […]

Being stuck inside on a sunny day isn’t very pleasant. Being stuck inside on a sunny Vancouver day when I should be at the CCMA’s or at a speaking engagement is even less fun. To perk myself up a bit (and because these look cool in my feverish state) here are a few more photos […]

Last week I didn’t realize how long I had been running the “then and now” photo series so we had Part Three, twice. I’m back on track this week and I’ve decided to feature transit and bus transport.

It’s not everyday that I published a post filled with photos that all feature me, but today is special. After knowing Kris Krüg for about 3 years now, we finally met up and took some photos together a few weeks ago. Photo credit: kk on Flickr I believe Kris used medium format film (not a […]

This is now the fourth week of my Vancouver then and now photo series thanks to the resources available at the City of Vancouver Archives.

If you enjoy taking photos […]

We decided to do an impromptu photo walk last night and ended up at the Ambleside Dog Park. I love being over at Ambleside as you get a different perspective of the city and it’s just such a nice walk through the trees, which ends up right along the beach. Loving the change in seasons, […]

I went on a mini photowalk in Cowichan Bay Village, which was one of our stops during this trip. The journey so far – View Larger Map The village is really cute, with floating homes, pubs, shops, and spectacular views. I was guided over to the maritime centre to get some shots and it just […]

Last week my Vancouver History: Before and After Photos received such a great response that I’m making this a weekly feature. I started thinking of themes so this week’s series will feature bridges. As with last week, the original images are available through the City of Vancouver Archives. Burrard Bridge 1932 Major Matthews collection 2007 […]
