Telephone/power pole near my house. I like how the clouds and power lines provide contrasting shapes. Also, the perspective is a little weird and I don't want to correct it. The image is sharp (within the limits of my cheap-ass lens) through, because of hyperfocal distance

Weekend trip to Saltspring Island about three weeks ago. A lovely time was had by all, Ben didn't buy tie-died underwear and the weather was fantastic.

Ant crawling around my peony. They don't seem to be interested in any other plants, strangely.

There is something strangely photogenic about View Towers. Sure, it's ugly as sin, and has a reputation as one of the least safe buildings in town. But it also has a stark beauty. At least other person agrees with me.

Shot during an argument. Perspective corrected, as I had to shoot it with a lens too large for the scene. I think the perspective correction makes the horizontal lines in the building look very distored and strange, adding to the mystique of the building.

I'm breaking the cardinal rule with this one: my uncle took the picture at my graduation. I'm now a Bachelor of Science! Woot.

More later, I promise.

Looking straigh up from under a tree, this photo was shot in the late spring. It was pretty boring, so I made the green leaves orange for some colour contrast.

I'm all hot and sweaty. This exercise thing started off fun, for about five minutes, then I hit a hill. Stupid hill. Off with your summit.

Ben and I bought bikes this weekend, a surprisingly more involved process than either of us imagined. I think I'll call mine fire. Or perhpaps Fire!

Fountain on the Legislature lawns, backlit. The light-refracting water droplets were just about perfect.

Not a very good colour picture. Too distracting and blue.
