Doomed townhomes on Pacific Blvd.
July 25th, 2007
It’s the little townhomes that… couldn’t.
I always liked these little semi-detached cottage-like homes, just off of Pacific Boulevard and steps from the beach. A charming holdover from the onset of jumbo apartment blocks. But I guess economics finally did them in: they’re slated for demolition. Sigh…
Vancouver Folk Fest
July 15th, 2007
For the first time ever, I was able to attend the Vancouver Folk Music Festival, a legendary local event that this year celebrates its 30th anniversary. Joining me was my friend Maita. We flitted from one stage to the next in search of musical delights, and found quite a few. And I even got an impromptu stilt-walking lesson! Read the rest of this entry »
Trip to S.F. and L.A.
July 15th, 2007
This year, my annual summer/ birthday pilgrimage to Oakland and San Francisco was augmented by a three-day trip down to Los Angeles.
I visited family and friends, got to play with the new iPhone, saw an indoor thunderstorm, and strolled the streets of Beverly Hills.Here are some of my favourite photos!
Walk for Rape Relief – Photo Gallery
May 28th, 2007
This Sunday was my seventh time participating in the biggest single fundraising event of the year for Vancouver Rape Relief and Women’s Shelter – their walk around Stanley Park. This year I was joined by a group of friends and together we walked the new route which took us through the forest and past ancient trees felled by the winter windstorm. At the end came a delicious gourmet picnic lunch and great musical entertainment.

The felled trees and flooded streams, combined with late-afternoon light, made for some compelling if somewhat melancholy photos.
