Leo, Where Are You?

 This Young fellow kept his Mom busy playing hide and seek although he might have just been having fun running around in this castle ruin like construction. It was once a scrap burning furnace in a turn of the century sawmill. I mean, a turn of the previous century. Anyhow, he had lots of fun as did I planning out and luckily getting this photo.

Mystery Light

 I went for a walk at Foreshore Park in Burnaby yesterday. It's a narrow strip of land that runs along the Fraser River. I came across this boat abandoned at a stream outlet. I was doing to call this post "A Little Lost Boat" but then thought, it can't really be lost as people are walking by it every day. I also wondered why a boat would be left there like that. I am sure someone knows the answer and it could be a quite mundane one but, at least for now, it will remain a mystery to me.

Summer Light

Shilpa has shown up on a lot of my blog posts over the past few years. It sure is nice having someone who enjoys having her photo taken so much. We got an opportunity to go down to New West Quay during this lovely warm weather and get some photos. 

I'm sure we'll be returning there.

Car Light

 I went to a car show for the first time in a long time. I think I will have to start that up again as I think I have a few things to relearn about photographing cars. I didn't get skunked though! 


Taken at the Brownsville Pub Summer Car Show.

Light Around the House

When Shilpa comes over for a visit we like to do little mini photo and video shoots. We've set up backdrops, moved furniture, gone out on the balcony or wandered around the parking lot. Today we stepped out into the hall. I am glad my light stands have wheels.

Uncommon Light

 I did a couple things I haven't done together in a little while. I went outside and I took my camera with me.

Mary's Light

Classy, with a good mix of whimsical is how I would describe Mary. 

Mary was a lover of plants and would work on the garden, any garden especially if the sun was shining. She was a worldly person and from what stories I heard her tell she led a full and interesting life. Mary never lost the ability to be suprised at people though and was always interested in what they had to say. If you knew Mary you knew about her love for music. She would take every opportunity to get up and dance when we went out. Mary had great taste in clothes and always looked stylish on the dance floor. 

This is the Mary I knew and I know it's but a small part of her. She was a sun-worshipper and the last couple of times I saw Mary she was lounging outside on sunny days, eyes closed and a satisfied look.

I do miss her.

Past Light

 I was walking into a pub when I got a message that an old friend of mine had passed away last weekend. Upon reflection, it somehow felt right that I would find out then. Our lives had taken different directions but in our younger days, we spent a fair amount of time together in pubs and on other adventures. He was a gentle soul but always up for fun and sometimes a touch of crazy. I am so glad for the times we had and will remember him fondly. My condolences to his family and friends. Rest in Peace Norm.

Some Day Light

 Every time I walk past this I think "Someday I'm going to take a photo of this." So today I did.

Reminiscing About the Light

 I was sitting at the computer today when this photo came up on my desktop. I always really liked the photo and decided today I need to share it. I went through 11 years of posts on my blog because I thought I must surely have posted it before. Well, I hadn't but I was reminded of how my photography has changed and grown over the years.

 


I decided to look up this little one to see what it was. Still don't know.

Seeing With a New Light

 Well, it's the camera that's new but it lets the light in. 


 Thanks for shooting with me Shilpa!

Dragonlight

Shilpa enjoys the sunshine while her friend keeps watch over her.
