Break-Dance in the Street!

If this photo doesn't capture the spirit of break-dancing then I do not know what does. It captures the crowd, the dancer, and the rest of his crew gawking at his moves. This photo was pretty hard to take because it needed to have a fast shutter speed to account for the fast movement of the move. I just turned the aperture down to allow more light in to balance the photo. What do you think is missing in this photo? Do you like the photo?

Starbucks!


Here (in Kirkland Quebec) I have only seen one Starbucks. What a contrast to Vancouver!! I decided to capture the drinks in two different ways. I will explain.

The first is a warm photo, one object in focus, which creates an almost dripping image of this hot chocolate.

The other has a very "breakfasty," early morning look which fascinates me. It may not be taken perfectly *as you can see from the overexposure in some areas* but it conveys a message.

Do you agree with my analysis? Which do you prefer?

Office Life

Well lately at my new job in Quebec I have been spending a lot of time in the office...

I was inspired by the look of the computers, they looked just so "office" like. It really captures the boredom and the feelings within the office. I also really enjoy the cut off on the photocopier. Do you agree?







I had to throw it in for you guys :) !
P.s. For super cool bonus points, does anyone know the name of this bridge? *HINT* it is near the old port in old Montreal.

Vancouver Bridges... AGAIN!


Now you must think I am really addicted to taking photos on bridges... but wait! There is a difference this time... it's at night! I am such a amateur that I don't have a tripod, so I had to carefully balance my camera on the ledge of a bridge. Unfortunately, that meant that most of my photos did not turn out, blurriness was the cause of this mostly. The photo was taken on Canada day which meant that throngs of people were downtown, so we decided to avoid the busy Canada Line and walk it. Here is the result of that!

Do you like this photo? Are you a fan of night photography? Are you sick of off the bridge shots?
