Vancouver Biennale

Woot! I went to downtown today to work on a project that required photos of three of the Vancouver Biennale sculptures. The Vanouver Biennale is pretty much an international open air museum. The project only required me to take photos of the three sculptures on downtown, but I took photos of everything on the way there :D.


Here are a few of the many photos I took:

"We, 2008" sculpture by Spanish sculptor Jaume Plensa.

 English Bay.

"A-maze-ing Laughter" sculpture by Chinese sculptor Yue Minjun.

For some reason my friends and I call these "The Trolls". :D

"Meeting" sculpture by Chinese sculptor Wan Shugang. There were 8 of these guys in a circle, staring into the center. The board is a friend's.

Downtown, Vancouver!

A cool circular walkway that extends over the water. http://bit.ly/goAJOl

All were taken with my Canon 30D + 17-85mm. Let me know what you think, thanks!

Photowalk :D

Woohoo! It was a really sunny today so I went out for a brief photo walk. I took some photos around my neighborhood and the local community center. I took a bunch of photos so I'll upload a few :)

I was walking around the park when I saw this Avalon milk truck parked under a cherry blossom tree. I thought there was no one in there until I walked past it afterwards :P. Avalon is the oldest continously operating dairy in BC. They are also the only BC company that still delivers milk to homes in glass containers.

I have been to this park many times as child and today was my first time visiting in in a long, long time. I didn't even remember that this building existed :P

I thought the pink tips looked really interesting.

OM NOM NOM.  :3

 An inuksuk! One block away from my house. 

I can't get enough sky pictures. Today they looked as delicious as ever so I decided to take a photo with some cherry blossoms in it too.

All were taken with my 30D + 50mm f/1.8 today on April 5th.

That's all for now, let me know what you think and which ones are your favourites :D

Thanks for reading!

More photos for the photoblog

There's not too much to say for each photo so I'll keep it brief :)


I took this photo on the front steps of my house. I was just about to head outside to take some photos when I looked up. Only minutes later the wind blew the clouds away.

Mar 22 - Rays of Light

Taken with 30D + 17-85mm

This next shot I took at a friend's house. The room was dark with only a light shining on the flower, thus leaving everything but the flowers in darkness. I named this photo after the new The Strokes song - Under the Cover of Darkness :)

Mar 19 - Under the Cover of Darkness

Taken with 30D + 50mm f/1.8

I will update with more photos later. Feel free to leave comments below :) Suggestions are welcome too, preferably stuff I can find in my home as it is raining everyday here and I'm struggling with my Photo-a-Day project indoors :(
