Vandigicam meetup by m.d.
Tonight was my first Vandigicam event since Code Blue a year ago. Vandigicam’s grown a lot since last summer, and I knew maybe half of the bunch who turned up at the Inukshuk at English Bay, but everyone was very friendly and a good sport about having their photo taken. Me, I’m [...]

Continuing my habit of taking photos of people’s pets, I introduce you to the inhabitants of Socar’s Packbawky Palace (in no particular order): Mr. Snagglebeak, Mr. Yellow, Miss White and Miss Blue. If there’s one thing Socar’s apartment needs, it’s a gigantic 24/7 vacuum that reduces the volume of feathers floating about the place. Perhaps [...]

Lana and I ate and shopped and walked our way around downtown and the West End yesterday, hitting some of our favourite spots like Sala Thai and Caffe Artigiano. Bin 941 was packed as usual, so we grabbed a nightcap and tapas-style nosh at Lickerish a couple of doors down.

This post brought to you by a long afternoon nap and a grande latte.
Some goofy cameraphone self-portraits of my (only) nephew and me, in the back of my father’s car after church. We celebrated Michael’s birthday one week early because we’ll all be out of town and in different locations.

Self-portraiture with a [...]

Tosca and Mike arrived home from the hospital around lunchtime today, and I rolled up a few hours later, cameras in tow. I didn’t bring the USB cable — argh! — so I’m just uploading cameraphone pics for now and will do the rest later. Little Parker is all of two days old, [...]
