ABANDONED PLACES THAT LOOK AMAZING

Here are a few very cool looking places that are a mix of isolated, abandoned and sometimes scary. This first one is on my list of a place I’d love to see. The sunken boat in Antarctica creeps me out the most. I don’t know why… maybe cold water scares me? Kalavantin Durg near Panvel, India Kalavantin durg is situated aside the prabalgad,the pinnacle is in clouds during rains...

OLD BIKE BECOMES NEW

Ok it is not that old at all, but the parts on this Trek bike were the horrible Sram ones and made me crazy. Huge thanks to my friend Alex (Sasha) who did the big swap for me. I rode this today and it felt like a new bike. Yahoo. This DURACE stuff is really nice. So glad to have it on there today. I am almost convinced the parts made me faster too.

THE COOLEST PLACE IN TOWN. WHAT A CHILLING VISIT

I had a very cool experience on Wednesday in starting to shoot some extensive progress reports of a massive construction job. I need to get various high up vantage points and one ended up being on the ROOF of a FIVE STORY FREEZER UNIT!!! Wow. I guess it makes sense but I never thought they would chill the WHOLE building. Even the elevators have icicles in them. So VERY COOL – LITERALLY 😉...

I GET TO HANG OUT OF HELICOPTER THIS MORNING. I LOVE MY JOB.

Look up, look waaaaaaaay up. If you are near the water just West of the Second Narrows, you should see me hanging face first out of a copter again this morning between 9:30 am and 11:00. Please feel free to wave if you see a big yellow copter in the sky with a wee fool hanging out of it. Please forgive me if I don’t wave back 😉 I always shoot with the doors off, but this is one time where...

BIG FRAMING JOB

In the midst of framing some aerail photos I took of ships a few months back. These will end up being 4 feet wide by 2 feet tall. I have to make three of them too! Lots of work. Lovely matting and plaques etc. Should look very nice I think. Non Glare Plexiglass even since one frame goes to Germany, and one goes Montreal. *Shipping real glass that large is not a good plan, so plexiglass it is,...

At Leah and Peter’s wedding in Deep Cove. Yep It gets windy. What was I thinking. Everybody almost got to know me a bit better I guess! Oops. Great timing by Leah. This was shot just as I was commenting on the winds just kicking up and saying “You are probably going to take a photo.”
