Other Info: Maybe wondering who the model is in this shot.....well it myself. The process of this shot me setting the timer on the camera and running to the mark and crossing my fingers that the shot turns out. I think it is successful for what I had to do to get this shot.

Whytecliff Park

Island connected to the shore via rock scramble.


Lone tree on the Island looking out south west into the Straight of Georgia.



Shot is to the south with West Vancouver in the background.



Location: Whytecliff Park, West Vancouver (Near Horseshoe Bay)


Time of Year: May 3, 2009


Other Info: Park has quiet a bit to offer with hiking trails, Island off shore that is accessible by a rock scramble path, and a beach. The Island that is located offshore, I figure through deduction, was once connected to the mainland. Striations mark up the mass of granite, which has a higher resistance to erosional forces than the rock that connected it to the mainland. The rock on the island has been smoothed thanks to processes of erosion wind, water and ice.

Ancient Script

Location: Richmond B.C., Buddhist Temple

Time of Year: April 2009

Other Info: According to my guide , not a monk a "Norman", this ancient Chinese scripture of which "Norman" could not read. Funny/awkward story on what I now call the "Norman Incident" I know I'm a handsome man, my self proclaimed nickname is "Handsome Thunder". I made clear to "Norman", I have a wife and am Happily married, didn't stop Norman from hitting on me as he figured statistically that he had a chance, the odds are he would get struck by lightening before that chance would occur. My analytical mind has gone over what occurred that day,about a thousand times, there was nothing lost in translation and it definitely was not culture gap. I remember that wishing my wife was here as wearing a wedding ring and giving my honest word that, "I was married" wasn't enough to stop what is known as the "Norman Incident".
