Cost-effective space program

If this person can get to space on spare change, then all the power to him. He could be the saviour of human space exploration.
I’m also sorry to hear aliens broke his space ship.
Spotted in Calgary in early June.

Visual trickery with iPhone camera’s panorama mode

Roundhouse

This is the former Canadian Pacific roundhouse in Vancouver’s Yaletown district, captured with a sweep of my iPhone’s camera in “panorama” mode.
It was really interesting to try this, because the roundhouse is built in the shape of an arc … so if you’re standing at the centrepoint of the arc and you swivel to capture the panorama, the main subject doesn’t look very distorted at all, while everything else does.

Vers St. Boniface

This beautiful pedestrian bridge in Winnipeg, Manitoba, links the Forks area just off Union Station with the city’s traditionally francophone area, St. Boniface.
(The photo above was captured with an SLR; the bottom one was snapped with my iPhone.)
