Celebration of Light at English Bay

I might have posted this picture before, somewhere on the web, but definitely not on here. When I first opened the file on my computer I thought I totally messed the shot up. I only took one shot and felt like I didn’t get the settings right and lost lots of detail. But with a bit of editing I did get some nice colours out of it. Didn’t turn out as bad as I thought it would. Don’t you think?

Sons of Granville at The Backstage Lounge Part I (or a naked mad playing viola)

I don’t usually take pictures during live shows or similar events for several reasons. For one there are often many other photographers aiming at the same thing at the same time. We won’t necessarily be getting the same results but it still takes the excitement of shooting away from me. Though socializing and sharing the experience with other photographers could be fun too. Another reason why I don’t do it is because I want to simply enjoy the show without worrying where my camera is.

I’ve expressed my admiration for Sons of Granville in my earlier posts about them. These guys do know how to put on an entertaining show. That particular day things went a little crazier than usual and it must have surely been my first time seeing an almost naked man play a viola (not something you see very often).

I do enjoy taking their pictures and It’s always hard to pick just a few to post. So I’ve decided not to limit myself and have 2 posts. I’ll post Part II sometime later in the week when I find time to finish the rest of the editing from that day.

Berliner Saxophonist

As you see I’ve changed a few things on the site in the past week. If you found Curious Lines looking all weird at some point or if something wasn’t working that was me messing with it. Apart from its looks I’ve changed a few structural things and that threw my “like” count away. So feel free to share and “like” away 😉
This picture, as the title suggests, was taken in Berlin. I’ve already posted a few pictures of saxophonists from Belgium and Vancouver but this one is my most favourite out of the three:)

Chair lifts (whistler)

This is actually a pretty old picture from one of the days in whistler. I thought it was very appropriate given I haven’t yet been up the mountain this season. If you know the mountains at all this is on blackcomb around the 7th heaven area, one of my favourite places to ride, truly is heaven on certain days.
