On Friday afternoon I went to see an art installation at Centre A by artist Germaine Koh. The show, called Overflow, was a site specific display of hundreds of glass bottles deemed as unusable and reclaimed from local recycling depot, United We Can. I was glad to have made it to the show before it closed this weekend. It was an impressive display and definately interesting to photograph. It was also a very telling installation about many aspects of Vancouver life, and the role recyclables play in the survival of the city’s homeless population.

I have trees on the brain lately. They have dominated my photographic subject matter since before Christmas when I first ventured out into the cold night air with a friend and my holga. I’m less interested now in shooting at night and long exposures, but trees continue to hold my fascination. I’m trying to develop it into a series, and possibly a show. I’m unsure of this focus though, and wonder if it’s an interesting enough subject to build a full scale artshow around…

The above photo was blogged on the front page of Utata today, along with a wonderful write up by Greg Fallis. Greg has been a long time Flickr friend, and I’m always pleased when he stops by my photo stream with a thoughful comment about my work. I am very pleased with his written accompaniment of this photo. It makes me long for a new red bike, a warm sunny day, and a joyride around the seawall.
