another...


...week

not too much happened.

- it rained. (and briefly snowed when the temp dropped a little on thursday)

- Booked the next available Film and TV Orientation course (on 7th/8th May at Capilano University)
I know it seems strange that someone who's been working in Film for a decade might need to take an orientation course; but it includes the WHMIS (OHS) certification, and hey - it's the rules...

- the playoffs started (NHL), and vancouver has been doing pretty well.

- I've sent out a whole bunch of emails to try and organise some set-visits, and say hi to all the local sound teams
First one is on monday, with more to come

- bought a new wind-proof jacket (at the local factory outlet store); as the temperature is still hovering around 9-12 deg (depending on the sun) during the day, and 2-5 at night.

- sorted out my camera-case-attachment-stuff (it now clips onto the shoulder-straps of my backpack/s keeping the camera nice and handy)

Friday was sunny, so after dropping my flat-mate at the ferry, I quickly went home to collect my camera and go for a walk.
I was looking to get a different angle of the city, and hoping the sun would stick around for a while.

in the 20mins it took me to get ready - the sun disappeared, and the clouds returned.


Beginning of the dog-walk down to the water-front




moss, moss, moss, moss




I like that they felt it necessary to translate for the dogs (but is it in the correct dialect?)




Bridies...




as you can see the area is pretty industrial...




from the wharf area (end of the walk)




looking back up north at the mountains




looking down on the city from upper-upper-lonsdale avenue




hate the name - don't mind the walk




the creek; where I had to wash some dog-crap from my boot (I thought people would have paid attention to the signs - I mean it's even in Dog-speak!)




zoomy-rock-shot




bridge over the creek




more moss - this time on a tree




weekly WTF - under-ground drain-cover?




the saga comes to a temporary close (what's the bet that re-gaining a QLD drivers License is a complete cluster-frack)




finishing with a shot of my new $30 desk. (from the local "canadian tire" store - they're like a canadaian walmart/k-mart)
