*....or so the story goes. Once upon a time, Ryan suggested to Melissa that they start a 'blog'. To which Melissa said, "We are not blog people!" And so here we are. We are teaching ourselves photography, taking the camera everywhere with us. This little blog is meant to show off shots we are proud of, and to give you a glimpse into our adventures. Comments always welcome!

Church

It's been waaaaaay too long since I got out and did some exploring. Met up with some other likeminded individuals today to check out this old vacant church. I am just posting this quick shot so you have some perspective on what it looks like before I post more.

Crafternoon

It was a Sunday "Crafternoon" at Adam and Michelle's. Michelle worked on her needlepoint while the gang gathered around the table and hand-painted designs on "ones-ies" for the new baby.

One's going east, the other’s going west. So what?

As soon as I saw Melissa and the dogs standing like this, I immediately thought of the Dog Painting scene from Goodfellas.

More Cowbell

Well, we did another round of band photos on Friday night. Neil did a formidable job shooting last week, but we realized that we look better at the start of the night...before the beer.

Buried 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

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

«« prev next »»

Blog Book

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 Restaurant

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

Victoria Parliament Buildings

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.
