Just posted a whack of pictures from my trip to the East Coast to my Flickr site.
Here are a few of my favourites.

From my buddy T.J.’s wedding:
Dragged kicking and screaming ... not

Outside the wedding venue … a giant fiddle:

Here’s another shot from my mini-photowalk in Montreal.

Colour your world

Went photowalking with Dave from work — he calls it “photo wandering” — through downtown Calgary today. Here’s a picture of Olympic Plaza:

Of course, we found a bit of time to fool around:

First place

Like they say in French, “ça va mieux à deux.”

Go to my Zooomr site to see more photos from our afternoon on the town.

Another visual update on what’s left of Penny Lane Mall in Calgary.

Once a party haven

The whole neighbourhood smells like a mouldy basement right now.
