Last night I went on a photowalk through Illuminate Yaletown 2012. Illuminate Yaletown is a art and light festival held on the streets of Yaletown. Imaginative and creative use of light are shown in the streets and even on the walls of buildings. Some of the displays are even interactive and many people take in the fun. I’m happy to say this year that it was dry and I wasn’t soaked like last year. There was some displays that were the same from the previous year but for the most part, there was enough variety to get some good shots this year. If you didn’t get a chance to check it out this year, there’s always 2013.

This evening I went out to shoot photos around Steveston with some friends. Its been quite awhile since I’ve gone out there. The weather lately is still a little chilly but its been sunny. We got there near sunset and we had to make use of the gorgeous light. I’ve been practicing some different post processing effects to try to achieve a cinematic look. Here are my shots from this evening.
As you readers know, I’m from the beautiful city of Vancouver. The Vancouver Canucks are in the Stanley Cup Final and there is much excitement in the city. Though I’m not fond of the early start times or the fact that there was only one weekend game, it feels like the Olympics again and it feels great!
On the last day of the their invasion into Oregon, the trio decided to check out The McMenamin Kennedy School. An old school that first opened in 1915 and was converted into a hotel in 1997. The old classrooms were converted into hotel rooms and the school features restaurants, bars and even its own brewery. The old auditorium was even converted to a movie theater! Artwork and old school photos adorn the walls of the school.

Only a month to go before the 2010 Winter Olympic games start in Vancouver. Excitement is building. I got tickets for some of the events where I will be attending with family and friends!
