Please join me in welcoming the newest member of my family. She is a yet-unnamed red tricolour (red, tan and white) Border Collie and yes, she has the sweetest puppy breath around!
UPDATE: The name is chosen and she is Kira.

I took “3 hour tour” today of downtown Vancouver to try and get a look at the sites before evreryone shows up for the 2010 Olympics. During my walk I came upon this section of shoreline just outside of the Edgewater Casino that is filled with little hand stacked rock sculptures. This inukshuk was among them. In the background of this photo you can see Science World which is being repurposed by the Russians during the games as “Russia House“.

Wow, a combination of Friday pet blogging and Project 365. How can you beat that?
This is of our two Shitzu’s, Buddy, looking like she is in dire need of a grooming.

This is another look a the stirrup ladder on the previously pictured climbing wall. Everything in this image feels rugged, rough and masculine. I particularly like how the red stirrup pops.

No artsy photos today, just a dad and his pride.
Sorry I could not resist.
Gabrielle received her 1st Dan (Poom) certificate from the WTF today and I could not resist sharing. I am so proud. Since she is only 8 she will keep this belt but continue to test until she is 15 at which point we expect that, if she keeps it up, she will automatically be granted a 3rd degree black belt. Cool eh?

Sphere: Related ContentBOOK REVIEW: Government Girl, by Stacy Parker Aab
The Washington memoir, in which leading members of the political establishment dish on their experiences in political campaigns or presidential administrations past, is a staple of the D.C. scene. Former presidents, cabinet members, and senior administration members, architects of controversial policies, and highly public survivors of political scandals, are almost expected to write books about their adventures, and publishers eagerly compete to sign them to six-figure contracts, knowing they are all but guaranteed to be instant bestsellers. Think Condi Rice, Sarah Palin, Scott McClellan, Henry Paulson, Alan Greenspan — not to mention Elizabeth Edwards and Jenny Sanford.

Notice the nod to “British” Columbian English? Yea, it was intentional.
Being an American in Canada I find it quite difficult to get used to the subtle differences like the “ou” in colour rather than simply an “o” or the pronunciation of pasta with an a as in ass (pASSta).
One thing I do not have trouble getting used to though is the brightly colored (ok coloured) fire hydrants. With the green grass in the background and a little sun shining I was able to capture all the primary colors.

Originally uploaded by goose3five
The rain has returned to Vancouver. It is never gone for long when you live in a rain-forest. As a photographer there are two ways to see the rain; an infinite number of little wet obstacles or an opportunity to be creative. Today at least I chose the latter.
I have been eyeing this wicked antique green pick-up truck in my office parking lot just waiting for sunny day to get some shots in the chrome. With the rain I decided to use the truck in a different way.
I hope you like it.

As the world will find out in about two weeks the weather in Vancouver does not fit the American picture of Canada. As a matter of fact, it is down right temperate.
Don’t believe me?
Here is a great geeky tool for the chart/graph lover in you. It is a monthly summary of the highs and lows at the Burnaby Mountain weather station for the month of January. As you can see, we only dipped below freezing on the night of January 7th (31F/-1C). The other thing to note is that it rained roughly half of the month.
It is no wonder with weather like this that the old white picket railing on my porch is in a state that would have old Huck Finn busy whitewashing all summer.

As I sat at my desk looking for acceptable ways to position this little rodent skull on my portable Western Digital hard drive I couldn’t help but worry that this wasn’t a bit of foreshadowing. Just in case I am going to back up my hard drive.

Congratulations are in order as my little one (pictured here on the beam at right) was promoted to the competitive gymanstics team at her gym today. As you can imagine we are very proud particularly because both my wife and my sister were sucessful competitive gymnasts in their youth.
I have to tell you, I spent a ridiculous amount of time in the gym with my little sister when she was a kid. It is “like deja vu all over again.”

This was shot in the monitor reflection of my powered-down Macbook Pro. It explains the slight ghosting around the edges of my image (look at my shoulders or head).

This HD time lapse video of Vancouver is unbelievably beautiful. Anyone wondering why I was willing to pick up my family and move across the continent to come here need only watch this five minute clip. For those of you who are from here, never forget what you have.
H/T to the good folks at VancouverIsAwesome.com, my new favorite blog.

My daughter and I take Taekwondo at a gym nearby. Today I was buried in work so I sat on the side and continued my work while the rest of the class practiced for an upcoming promotion test.
These two purple belts were practicing their pattern when I finally got a break and pulled out the camera to snap a few shots.
