Rare is the day I encounter giant inflatable gorillas in my day-to-day life, so what fun to find not one, but two on a recent daytrip to Seattle. I’m not sure how exactly these were supposed to assist in increasing car sales at the dealership they were positioned by, but they definitely got MY attention.
I’ve begun making a few small tests of photos on metal prints I’m hoping to have in a show later this year. The results look go so far, and I would post them but metal prints don’t seem to scan very well…

Taken in the neighbourhood of Strathcona, Vancouver, with an Olympus XA and cross-processed Ektachrome 100VS. I haven’t done any xpro in months, so I was happy to have such satisfying results on my first roll of the spring/summer season.
The weather is fantastic today. I went for a long walk along the seawall at lunch, and stopped in a park to play on the swings. What a great afternoon!

Danny Michel was in town this week for two shows at the Railway Club, and I’m very happy I made it to one of them last night. I’ve missed him the last few times he’s played Vancouver, and didn’t want this to happen again. He’s always an entertaining performer and anyone I take to see him becomes a convert to his music. He’s on tour right now to promote a new CD/DVD box set he’s put together independently, featuring material recorded at two live shows in Toronto.
