Vancouver is a crazy beautiful town when the sun is shining. Was in need of air at the end of the day and so shuffled off from my hotel down to Robson Street. Interesting mix of people. Even more interesting mix of light. Late afternoon, hard, all sorts of contrast.
Love it.
Just walked, looked, on occasion waited, and shot.

All you have to do is look.
After you shoot for a while light can quickly become an obsession. The completely mundane can look amazing when the light is just so. Sitting on the plane this morning yielded one such opportunity.

This is just for fun.
Last week… actually a week to this day… actually a week to right about now… we were concluding our stay at the beautiful Westin Playa Conchal in Costa Rica and steeling ourselves for the pending bus ride to the airport in Liberia. The drive through the towns and country was beautiful and at some point it dawned on me that I should be taking pictures. I pulled the camera and employed the following Drive By Shooting Technique…

Two-thousand, two-hundred and ninety-two.
The number of photographs I sifted through yesterday following our return from beautiful Costa Rica. Less than I expected, more than is probably reasonable. Without the concern for developing film I don’t need to worry about a cost-per-click other than incremental time spent editing. Doesn’t mean I shouldn’t exercise more discipline – will have to figure that out when I inevitably “upgrade” to a newer, higher megapixel camera. There are lots of brackets and “safety shots” in that pile, and a quarter of them have since been flushed.
That said I ended up with a bunch of shots I’m pretty happy with and will be occupying my time with post-vacay photobook creation, printing, and blogging. Take for example this from an early morning venture onto Playa Tamarindo. And by “venture” I mean “walk outside our hotel door onto beach”.

Inspired by Scott Campbell’s iPhone photo of winter trees I captured this earlier today. Trees all hoar-frosty in the early morning, and the sun poked out and lit them up. Goes to show, however, that it’s not the camera that makes the image. Scott’s photograph kicks the s**t out of this, yet was taken with “only” an iPhone vs. a pro-level full frame DSLR that clocks in at over $2K.
