Picture of the Day – Cadaques in the morning
This was shot early morning in the Spanish town of Cadaques near the French border. The picturesque town is one where Dali used to vacation as a boy and then later on returned and painted many non-surreal paintings. This is where we spent our last days on our trek through Spain and can’t recommend it [...]
Photo of the day – Double Take
I was reading about tomorrow’s Polar Bear swim here in the frigid waters of Vancouver and that got me remembering this shot I took the other year in the Mediterranean. I like this shot because of the moment that was captured between this man and oblivious woman. Checking out the other gender in other countries [...]
Photo of the day – X-mas Tree on Lost Lagoon
I shot this photo around this time last year. It had been just as cold and then wham! It dumped a huge amount of snow on us. I walked down the just as the snow had finished and snapped this. It’s actually a composite of a few different exposures. Not HDR but layered and manually [...]
Photo of the Day – Mother’s Day 2009
After the day spent at the Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary wandering around enjoying mothers day in the country we made our way over to Commercial Drive for a friends art show opening. After the show Denise took Noah to the playground and I made my pilgrimage to the Santa Barbara Deli. It is by far [...]
Photo of the Day – Thunderbird is go!
On my way to pick up groceries yesterday afternoon I spotted this relic from the past. It’s a mid 70′s Ford Thunderbird that really shows the true essence of a bloated ara. Big hair, bigger ties and rediculasly big cars were the order of the day. I have a fondess of that time, but no [...]
Photo of the day – Salamanca Spain – Circa 1991
This is from my very first trip to Europe in 1991. I left just before Nirvana broke and when Michael Jackson was still believed to be just a bit odd and not the crazy child hanging out of the window [alleged] pedophile that he became. Yes I was off to hostel hop via Eurorail pass and an erasable pen [...]
Photo of the day – The Dali Theatre Museum – Figueres
This is not the museum that we thought we had tickets for but it was amazing none the less. This is a shot of The Dali Theatre Museum in Figueres. Not the Casa-Museu Salvador Dalí de Portlligat as we had thought when we bought the tickets online many months earlier! There are about an hour apart from [...]
Photo of the Day – On the Run
This was photo was shot on a road trip that the three of us took through eastern Washington, Oregon and Northern California in the spring of 2004. It was Easter and both Denise and I were a little stir crazy from the long winter shut indoors figuring out how to be parents with and infant child. We blasted south and [...]
