Black and White Film with Filters!, a set on Flickr.Via Flickr:
Kids these days seldom seem to use filters with their black and white film. I see this as a problem, like trying to play trumpet without using the keys, it leaves you with a pretty limited range. Filters in Black and White can dramatically impact your end result.

Fanta Orange on Flickr.Via Flickr:
Lisa was pretty stoked when I came back with two of her favourite soda’s at the schwarma place. Fanta Orange hasn’t been generally available in Canada since we were kids and Lisa had rekindled her love affair with it in Europe a couple years ago.
The schwarma place (Babylon on Robson Street, one of the best) gets it from somewhere in the middle east, making it even more exotic.
Trajan was unphased, not yet being a fan of soda. The boy certainly loves his schwarma though!

Because the one thing Vancouver really lacks on Flickr.Via Flickr:
Is over-priced burger joints with an elevated sense of their place in the food chain. Thankfully, the Cactus Club is there and, increasingly everywhere, to remedy this problem. Ugh.
Zuiko 85mm f/2, Olympus OM-4. Just loving the metering on the OM-4, everything lands right where I want it using their wonderful spot meter. In this case, a shadow reading off of the black cladding retains full detail.

Vancouver’s Famous Sea Wall on Flickr.Via Flickr:
People come to Vancouver from all around the world to walk the Seawall and see the stunning views of the North Shore, English Bay, False Creek etc. We’re spoiled, I’ve lived within a couple blocks of it for most of the last 25 years and, while I’m out on the seawall frequently, I don’t really think too much of the views most of the time. 
Lately, however, I’ve started noticing some pretty cool stuff happening around knee level on the sea wall.

Damn moody Europeans! ;-)

"There was once a word used---swing. Swing went in one direction, it was linear, and everything had to be played with an obvious pulse and that's very restrictive. But I use the term 'rotary perception.' If you get a mental picture of the beat existing within a circle, you're more free to improvise. People used to think the notes had to fall on the center of the beats in the bar at intervals like a metronome, with three or four men in the rhythm section accenting the same pulse. That's like parade music or dance music. But imagine a circle surrounding each beat-each guy can play his notes anywhere in that circle, and it gives him a feeling he has more space. The notes fall anywhere inside the circle, but the original feeling for the beat isn't changed. If one in the group loses confidence, somebody hits the beat again. The pulse is inside you. When you're playing with musicians who think this way you can do anything. Anybody can stop and let the others go on. It's called strolling…."
