Whew, it’s been a hot week. Vancouver has seen its first heatwave of the 2022 summer, and it’s been a rough week for those without AC. Me? I was ready. I had my AC purchased and ready to go in March, when it first came into stock. My buddy Bang and I spent the afternoon […]

Chasing Stars
It’s not news that I really, really like astrophotography. It’s been a while since I had a chance to do any astrophotography, so when the news about northern lights showed up, I drove out to Chilliwack to try and see if I can photograph it. Of course it’d be too simple if I caught it, […]
Lighthouse Park, Gastown & Chen
Wow it’s been a while since I posted. Honestly life just caught up with me, last few years have been quite a ride, I got engaged, bought a house, got promoted, became disgruntled, switched jobs, etc. I’m sure I’ll get to the details eventually, and I’ll try to catch up with what I can. So, […]
Xi’an Again
Oh boy, I haven’t written anything in so long.Guess it’s time to finally catch up to some of the stuff that’s been happening, let’s start with this one. I went back to Xi’an around mid-October again, this time taking Tina with me, since she’d never been, and I’d like to take her on a trip […]
Streets of Vancouver: Episode 1
Hey guys yea I’m not dead. I’ve been so busy in the last few months I really just didn’t have time to go out and take many photos. But now that things have slowed down a little bit, I’m planning to renew my focus on photography. Sorry, I know you guys were waiting for […]
Hotel Shoot with Laura
Well, I’ve been putting off writing blogs for a while. Work and life is busy yaddy yaddy yadda. I’ve just been so lazy that I haven’t really had the desire to write this for a long time. I’ve got so much content built up, and I think it’s about time to catch up for a […]
Restaurant Series: Kobi Korean BBQ (North York)
I’ve been back home for Christmas, in Ottawa. But I planned for a Toronto trip in the middle of this little vacation, because most of my friends ended up in Toronto after graduation. I know Vancouver is supposed to have better Korean food overall, but I still hold onto the belief that Finch Ave. has […]
Film Series: Canonet QL 19, September 2017, Kodak Portra 400
Second roll of film I shot with the camera, as soon as I knew the camera worked, is the Portra 400. I first shot an expired 120 roll of these back in 2013 when I was on co-op at QNX, and had a chance to play with a Mamiya 645. Despite screwing up and ruining […]
Review Series: iPhone 8 Plus
Title photo is inspired by Kelsey McClellan. Before you flame me on my choice of phone, OS and/or calling a smartphone camera as a camera. Let me explain. My Xiaomi Mi 6 was great, the portrait mode was adequate, and the phone itself ran fine. But once I started working, some issues became obvious: – […]
Film Series: Canonet QL 19, August 2017, Fujifilm C200
I’ve been feeling uninspired lately. I’m not sure if it’s the new work, or the more consistent schedule, or that I’m always tired. I just haven’t been taking that many photos lately, nor did I have the desire to. I was kinda burnt out, maybe? But the streets of Vancouver makes such interesting scenes everyday, […]
