Roy Lichtenstein originals at SFMoMA

Among the Masters

Being able to stand and examine works of art from multiple distances and angles really helps me appreciate the whole being greater than the sum of the parts. Continue reading→

Hayden at Queen Elizabeth Park

Hayden’s Story

“I can usually walk down Main Street and find a new place which will keep me occupied.” No Regrets Hayden is a Watford supporter. I forgave him and we met at Queen Elizabeth Park on an overcast yet clear Sunday afternoon. I wanted to find out more about Hayden and in particular, what prompted him...Continue reading→

You Have Nothing To Worry About

“Finding this community has saved my life,” - Melissa Spitz on her finding support from her Instagram following. Earlier this year I launched a personal project, Behind the Mask. I wanted to explore how people use social masks to hide or obscure their feelings and emotions when in the company of others. Having just come...Continue reading→

Daniel downtown Vancouver

Daniel’s Story

“I remember taking a taxi towards Downtown Vancouver for the first time back in February and noticing the city’s architecture against the backdrop of the mountains. It was truly stunning and inspiring” On a fresh, dazzling, late November morning, I met Daniel who was still very much in the land of jet lag. Daniel had...Continue reading→

Brits in Vancouver. Bell at Third Beach

Bell’s Story

“I wake up and look out of my apartment window at the North Shore mountains, and it’s the most beautiful sight. I walk 25 minutes across town to work, passing people from all over the world.” Courage It was a warm and sunny early evening when I met Bell at Third Beach in Stanley Park....Continue reading→

Terry O'Neil-Photograph-Ed Alexander

Terry O’Neil – Storyteller

When reflecting upon my own work I start to recognise the desire to capture those fleeting moments of normality, where my client is no longer a collaborator in creating the image but a bystander unaware of the intruding lens.  Born a short distance from where I spent my own formative years (although many years before...Continue reading→

Pennie Smith photogrphed by Joe Strummer.

Pennie Smith, The Clash and that (Im)perfect frame

It really forced home that sometimes the imperfect and the serendipitous capture works so much better than the over-composed, over edited image. I love my music. I'm the guy that retained my vinyl; albums, 7" singles, 12" singles, they're all still with me. One of the jewels in the crown has to be my bought...Continue reading→

Strolling around Stanley Park

It was great weather over the weekend so we managed to fit in a couple of walks around Stanley Park. It’s a fabulous place to unwind with a sea wall footpath and a separate cycle/blade path as well. Some memorable views (excluding the sulphur heap). Stanley Park’s history goes back to the early days of...Continue reading→

Lunch at Lilly’s

If you’re ever downtown at Nelson and Howe, drop in to Lilly’s for lunch. Lesley and I had a couple of delicious sandwiches there. The salmon burger and tuna melt are highly recommended.

Vancouver views

Vancouver is a wonderful city, not just for the lifestyle but also the landscape. Okay, these images are not of the open spaces that Canada has plenty of, but I find the views impressive. Just click on the thumbnail to view a larger image. These images were taken with the Nokia phone rather than a...Continue reading→

Life in Transit

One of the must’s for our rental accommodation was to be close to a SkyTrain station. As we’re without a car at the moment, public transport (Transit) is our means of getting around the city. I’ve become a great fan of SkyTrain. It’s a fast and frequent light railway that also affords some pretty good...Continue reading→
