Just a few random shots around one of the older Vancouver Neighbourhoods – Kitsilano.

Shells…

I love photographing nature. And ocean things in particular are a passion of mine. When I tried my hand at sketching courses I took shells as my subject. I will say I didn’t do too poorly. But definitely photographing them is more in my skill line. These were taken with my Pentax 90 point and shoot. I need to take my Canon out next time.

365 – Week 16

This week I played with my Pentax waterproof point and shoot. It seemed appropriate to do an ocean theme since I bought it for my first snorkeling adventure in Mexico. Since there was no opportunity to go snorkeling in Vancouver this week, I settled for some shots of sea shells and sea stars. Then I decided to do some black and white work. Working in black and white is a fascinating process. You have no idea how many varied effects you can get from one photo until you start playing with contrast and filters.

365 – Week 15

Even photos taken with an iPhone camera can be fodder for a few creative hours in [insert your photo editing software of choice]. I happen to enjoy Adobe Lightroom.

This week’s theme: Pretty Fishes

These are the three unnamed beauties who live at my workplace. Yes, there are eight photos this week. Call me generous!

365 – Week 12

This week’s theme is: Shopping!

Such a wonderful activity, and I admit I do indulge in retail therapy if given half a chance. So, for me, a shopping trip, no matter where, can be an exercise in temptation, guilt, denial, or that wonderful high you experience when you get an amazing bargain on something you love.

Pretty beads for a new bracelet. I love bracelets! Can’t wait to put it all together.

I am addicted to travel mugs. I have no idea why. And these are sparkly!! And pink! Ooh la la! Alas, I did not buy. Good girl. Sad girl.

I also did not buy candy, but it looked so full of sweet, colourful, chewy goodness.

Oh, peanut butter!! What have they done to you? Temptation was avoided however, in honour of my faithful and lifelong relationship to plain peanut butter. But someday…

Some of that fancy peanut butter would have gone great on some of this. I stood and inhaled the luscious aroma for a while then mustered super-human willpower and walked away.

Almost as pretty as candy..and almost as sweet. And much less guilt!

Not as pretty as candy, but one of my favourite foods.

And a bonus photo for today…

Jelly beans. They make me smile.

365 – Week 11

Okay, so I got off track but I am going to just pick-up where I left off. What fun would it be to take on a creative project if you can’t be creative with the rules, huh?

These are photos I snapped this week in a lovely new ophthalmology office where I am a part-time visual fields technician. (I’m the one who puts your head in that big bowl and makes you click away whenever you see those silly flashing lights.)

The office is new and is just blocks from the beach, so it has a beautiful beachy/spa feel.

The click-y visual fields thing

Whimsical umbrella stand.

Life got in the way of the 365 project last week. So, as an apology for missing a week, I’m posting these photos taken in February. With any luck the project should be back on track next week.
