Over the last few years there’s been a boom in Vancouver’s public art — aside from the bears, eagles, or orcas in the city campaigns. While the city has long-standing sculptures, fountains and statues, events such as the Vancouver Biennale and even the 2010 Winter Games have introduced a contemporary and colourful splash of public […]

Browsing the photos added to the Miss604 Flickr Pool I have noticed quite a few panoramic shots. I did a panorama roundup last month but there are just enough now to do another compilation.

On the very last day of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games I cried twice. Once, when Sidney Crosby’s goal got past a stellar Ryan Miller, and once again when Neil Young was singing as the flame disappeared from the Olympic cauldron.

There’s just one day to go in the Benji, Casey, Pete and Bella campaign for Paws for a Cause. For months now Keira has been fundraising for this very worthy organization and Matt (who helped Duane and I with the Blogathon) also backed the fundraising effort with updates on his website.

John and I just walked over to Duane’s house so he’s officially the “D” for my A-Z of Metro Vancouver. Since the next post will be his “meet the participants” entry I’ve decided to feature some of his photos here. They’re not his typical HDR shots and that’s kind of why I felt showcasing them […]

For months Duane was sitting there at the top of the Google heap when you searched “Vancouver Blogger“. He went entirely unnoticed til this guy decided to challenge him in the weeks leading up to Northern Voice. Soon after, Boris stealthily threw his hat in the ring and the plot thickened. If you’d like to […]
