Late afternoon glow

#BritishColumbia #StreetPhotography #Vancouver #VanSPC
A bus, backlit by the sun, makes its way to the crest of a hill in the city centre. A pedestrian navigates a busy intersection beneath the shadows of buildings. A skateboarder rolls through the last rays of the day. Pedestrians maneuver to board a bus.

A late night foggy scene at Millennium Gate in Chinatown. Layers of overpasses wind through the fog. A couple walks home through the stillness of downtown at night.

Shapes in downtown glass

#BritishColumbia #StreetPhotography #Vancouver #VanSPC
Pedestrians in silhouette navigate an intersection filled with splashes of light. The contours of buildings drape across the surface of a car hood. A man waits for the bus beneath layers of architecture. A shop window reflecting pedestrians as they cross paths.

A detail of industrial pipes and fittings. A external workshop wall with assorted tools and the word “Welcome.” The photographer as seen in the reflection of a security mirror with a quite industrial space in the background. A camper van with “Just keep smiling” affixed to the front of the camper top.

Elf streaker evidence and other seasonal selections

#BritishColumbia #StreetPhotography #Vancouver #VanSPC
A Santa head on a door. A small elf costume rests upon a bus bench, its former occupant free but chilly, presumably. Flamingos, garden hoses a wreath and other East Vancouver details. Inflated Santa stands next to collapsed Frosty.

Chilly in the shadows

#BritishColumbia #StreetPhotography #Vancouver #VanSPC #Monochrome
Light falls away from the entrance of a building as patrons enter. Shadows tangle in a beauty parlour window. West Cordova and Richards devoid of activity. The city slides along on a grid.

A tug boat passes the ferry. Objects on deck arrange themselves accordingly. Detail of a colourful bulkhead with rain-covered glass. Detail of an on-deck public address system. Passengers viewed through raindrop-covered glass.

Postcards from Victoria

#BritishColumbia #BlackAndWhite #StreetPhotography #Vancouver #VanSPC
A cathedral viewed through trees on a cold night. A photographer captures his shadow amongst the angles of an old fortification. Tangles of seaweed nestled amongst driftwood. Victoria rooftops on the skyline fall into darkness.

A hotel sign perches precariously as a cloud contemplates enveloping it. A treacherous staircase under moody light. Pedestrians oblivious to the layers of the architecture around them. Light kisses the concrete in a parkade. A pedestrian is none the wiser.

"How does a country burst? To answer this question, it helps to see matters as do the president and the vice-president: from inside a grift bubble."

“I keep thinking of Wiley Coyote at the edge of a cliff in the roadrunner cartoons, and he doesn’t fall until he looks down. The question is, when are people going to look down? The finances don’t make any sense, and I think they’re starting to look down.”

A woman makes her way down Pender as viewed through multiple windows in a storefront. Pedestrians wait to cross as viewed via a storefront reflection.

Various moments for your consideration

#BritishColumbia #StreetPhotography #Vancouver #VanSPC
Patrons in a busy cafe window. A woman quietly sells groceries on the pavement beneath an overpass. Employees pass the time at a quiet muffler shop. Looming clouds move in at a moody intersection.

October selections

A pharmacy glows under twilight. A man shares his book review. Silhouettes of riders on the bus. A diner sits on a heated patio amongst autumn colours.

A man and his reflection glance at the photographer at an intersection. A pedestrian seemingly folds in on himself. A woman, her face aglow, quietly looks down at the pavement. Her reflection does much the same. A woman glances at the photographer amidst a collection of people on a busy street.

A mural of a swarm of wasps with the terminal in the background. Rail lines arc into the distance through a chain-link fence. A school of vehicle swim past a salmon mural.
