Knitting granny

Granny here is part of a larger piece of wall art that’s popped up in the last few weeks (maybe months?) in Calgary’s Kensington neighbourhood.

Trying for the perfect take

Another oldie today … one of my favourite nighttime photos shot with the iPhone 4.
Visiting New York in February 2011, I came across a couple of kids recording some skateboarding videos at Columbus Circle in Manhattan as I was walking back to my hotel near to Lincoln Center.
With every take they made they got better at what they were doing … and I got to practice my panning skills.

S is for Submerged

Finally, a chinook in Calgary! Sweet relief from winter’s grip … but the pools and puddles from the melting snow are all over the place.
The Flickr title for this photo: “S is for Submerged”.

Pulling back the curtain

The industry of Hollywood is all about fantasy … so it’s appropriate for some of the art in Hollywood to be the same. Here’s a cool trompe-l’oeil just off Hollywood Blvd.

Futile search for privacy

This is Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood as it appeared a few weekends ago, the red carpet about to roll out for the premiere of Ender’s Game. The extensive use of privacy screens made me chuckle.
