Burried Signs

I don't know why Dad spent all that money on a new DSLR. His old film camera seems to work just fine. :P I pulled Dad's old rangefinder film camera outta storage for our trip to Quebec. Shot on some cheap old 800 iso stock. -Ryan

"Not A Creature Was Stirring..."

"We are not Blog People*..." -In PRINT

«« prev next »»



For Christmas this year, Neil & Veronica put together a photo book made up of the photos Melissa & I post on our "photoblog". I was quite excited when I got it. Melissa took it with us to Quebec to show just about all of her family and friends. A serendipitous extension of this gift was that we were able to see people's reactions, and hear their compliments first hand, pretty much for the first time. It felt kinda nice, and it is appreciated. However, "the fates" are keeping me "honest" because anytime I tried to take a picture of the book, it came back out of focus. :P

Again, thank you Neil & Veronica, this is truly a wonderful Christmas present.
-Ryan & Melissa

Baan Thai

Tonight was sort of an impromptu family night. Mom and Dad came down for a visit. Dad brought his new camera. (Used for this pic.) We went out for dinner at the Baan Thai restaurant to visit Neil at work. If you are ever out in the Junction area and want good Thai food, stop by Baan Thai -Ryan

Peak to Peak

Tonight's snow storm has me taking a stroll down memory lane. Shot while skiing at Whistler. This is one end of the "Peak to Peak" gondola that will take you from the peak of Whistler to the Peak of Blackcomb in 15 min. -Ryan

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. The past couple weeks have just slipped by. Oh, and sorry for the larger size. It is 1 am, and I don't feel like going back into photoshop.

Cliche shot? Perhaps, but I just couldn't help myself. -Ryan

Blackcomb Clouds

«« prev next »»



On my last day in Whistler the sun started to poke through the clouds at the peak. This is shot from the Whistler village-to-peak gondola. Looking at Blackcomb. Pretty much stickin' the camera out the window and firing away. Flying back to Toronto tonight. More pics to come after I get myself settled.

Good Bye Grey Mile

«« prev next »»

I shot this on my last night at the Vancouver facility. Every night for the last three months I have stepped out of my suite to see this. I have lovingly named it "The Grey Mile".
And what is at the end of this long hallway? ....The only set of washrooms on the entire floor.

Karaoke at the HoJo

«« prev next »»



It started out innocently enough. Over to Brian's to listen to some records.



Maybe drink some beer.



Brian says "C'mon fellas, I hear there is going to be a punk rock show show at the Biltmore. It'll be neat-o"



James rounds up a posse. Tell them to hurry up. The show might sell out.



The show sold out. The Howard Johnson Hotel bar beckons us to come in. Any port in a storm, right?



...and the pitchers start flowing



James contemplates karaoke.



Brian and James kick it ol' school with "The Humpty Dance"



They do a little dance.



The crowd goes wild and rushes the dance floor.



Damian is quite chuffed with the situation as Brian embraces him from behind.



Some Aussies from the aforementioned crowd invite us to a spontaneous house party...



...at 3 in the morning.



James dances while Brian wonders where his wallet went.



Not too sure whose apartment it was. Random Aussie girl #3?



Or was it Random Aussie girl #1?



Hey did these two actually hook up? Memory is a bit fuzzy after this point.

Blackcomb Panorama

This is my first attempt at a 'panorama' shot. This is a view of Blackcomb Mountain as seen from Blueberry Hill, a little further down the highway. Until somebody shows me how to make one of those flash player panorama thingy's, you will just have to scroll across the page.

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. Melissa is in town and we are playing tourist. Hopefully this gives you some idea how big some of the old trees are in Stanley Park. We just got up to Whistler. Stay tuned for more pics.

"Boy George was in the news again today... It seems the Coast Guard arrested him because they found him scaping the barnacles off of his Dinghy."
Was this really in a Carson monologue? Or just on the Simpsons?
Anyways, that one goes out to ol' Sergeant Pituch.

Yesterday, I took the car and drove north out of the city on Highway 1 & 99. It runs right up the coast. I got up to Squamish and then came back. I made a quick stop in Porteau Cove, half way between Vanc. and Squamish. More pics to come. -Ryan
