Hearts
Happy Valentines Day darling – if my math is right this is our 29th!
When I saw this graffiti on the sea wall in Ross Bay a couple of months ago, I knew I had to use it for Valentine’s Day.

Horizon(tal) XII
The rain and dark of winter have returned after nearly two weeks of clear cold weather.
My frozen fingers are regaining some control over the processing sliders, but not soon enough for this shot.
Am I the first photographer to blame over-processing on the weather?

Ship’s Cat
Most of last week I was on Quadra Island located next to the central east coast of Vancouver Island doing some planning for a research project I will be participating in later this year. This included poking around a few locations to get a feel for the area. One such place had a ship, a cat with attitude and a chair on a beached dock. What more could a photographer want?
Single Use Only
More from last week’s trip to Port Renfrew. This, I think, is the proverbial hot seat – you know, the one they threaten you with if you are acting out of line. I can tell you one thing though, this hot seat is not in hell, since the land all around was frozen over. While I took these shots my eldest son, 6′ 2″ and wearing rubber boots, stomped hard on frozen puddles trying to break through the ice. I tried to get him to sit down on this chair, but without luck – perhaps his white sweater had something to do with it, not to mention the camera pointed his way.
I have come to notice chairs from seeing the photos in Melinda Green Harvey’s blog, which often features abandoned specimens. Though I don’t recall seeing one of hers that is scorched by anything other than the Texan sun.
Canoeist
Early last week I went to Port Renfrew on the west coast of Vancouver Island with my son, just to hang out for a couple of days. Here he is passing beneath the bridge I was walking over.
Flipped Wall
Another shot of the Clover Point pumping station wall made with the half-frame film camera. This is an in-camera diptych where the camera is flipped between shots and the digital image is made by scanning the adjacent frames. This one is from a roll of film that was not advancing properly so both outer edges were double exposed, but not in an interesting way so I cropped them off.
In this one I like the impression of a spiral or twist, a bit like 3-ply string or something. It would be improved without the light standards – I will have to check out the area and see if there is a way of shooting it again.
