Vancouver

Last weekend me and a couple friends went to Vancouver for a Food Festival. I usually don't go to these things but it was actually alot of fun! There were alot of taste testers and you could try wines and other "spirits" :)

As you can see, lots of good and "interesting" food.

Do you recognize this guy? I forgot his name but he has a cooking show on the cooking channel. He was pretty funny and the dishes he created looked very appetizing.
                                                                                                               

This is the guy from Seinfeld, the soup nazi. 
      











 
This is in the convention center. They have a huge globe hanging from the ceiling. Pretty cool. 
                               

                                                                                 











This is right outside the center! A water drop. ...

This is the olympic cauldron. Right beside the vancouver convention center.

May long weekend

Every year I go camping with my friends on the long weekend! Well, this year we stayed home. It was a little bit bittersweet because we really wanted to go, but there was just so much other stuff that needed to be done first, therefore we decided to just have a comfortable weekend at home.
Yesterday we went to Granville Island. Check it out!

Bonfire

This Saturday I had my first bonfire of the season! It was great! I love the feeling of sitting in front of a bonfire and enjoying not only the warmth and the flaming colors of the fire but also the company of friends!

It was one of my friends friends going away party! :)

Somebody had brought a laser! A very strong one I might add. So we had our own little laser party!

Silas and Levi 1st Birthday

On mother's day weekend I went to visit some of my parents friends. Their daughter has twins and it was their first birthday party!! The two boys are adorable and I love playing with them. Also, I was so happy when she asked me to shoot some pictures during the party! So, there you go, these are some of my favorite shots!







This is their cousin Lila.

I'm back!!

Yes I know, it's been indeed forever since my last post but I'm happy and very excited to announce that I have finally been able to purchase a digital slr camera and now I have no more excuse not to practice, and believe me for a while that won't be a problem!
Just so you know though, this blog will be more about my pictures then about me blogging, a.k.a. writing about my life experiences,etc. I might throw some of that in from time to time, but it will probably be portrayed in pictures as well. Lewis Hine says it perfectly: "If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn’t need to lug around a camera."
So I was trying to upload a picture but obviously it wasn't working. But I promise to come back as soon as possible with some pics!

My Peeps

I love looking at pictures of people. Especially when they are taken naturally, i.e. children playing, people laughing/dancing/hugging/etc. I like it when the photograph captures the emotions that happened at that time.
Here are some of my favourite ones.
The first one is the band "YUCA".
The second one is from about a year ago. That was at the beach in Vancouver just before the big Fireworks show.


The third is of my friend jumping over me. :) That was a very fun day. It was one of those early summer days and we enjoyed it thoroughly. It felt so good to feel the sunshine and smell the freshly mowed grass...

The forth picture is in a library/coffee place. I think those are the best coffee shops, the ones with reading material.









This las one is of me. Although, I gotta give credit to my friend Amanda who took this picture. I love her reflection in my sunglasses.

The Seaworld and a Spider

I'm back!
After a couple of crazy busy weeks, I finally have time again to post some more pics. I have so many pictures waiting to be posted that I figured I would try and post them all today. But right now, lets start with the few animal pictures that I have.
This was at the Vancouver Aquarium about a year ago. These two girls are my friends. I loved how bright and blue the jelly fish aquarium was, so I told them to sit on opposite ends. The focus of the picture is on the jelly's, with the girls silhouettes more in the background.

I love how the sunrays are coming all the way through the water.

With the shark, the sunrayz make him look almost creepy.

This is at home. I found tons of these spiderwebs on the evergreens right outside our house.
