Here's some picture goodness for ya.... Went through some of my pictures (well, alot of my pictures, actually) and picked some of my favourites. I was inspired by the Artisans Walk in downtown Victoria. We met a photographer (Jason Spencer) who we got some art cards from, and he had alot of good pictures from all his travels (ie. Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand and more) and from the Island. It inspired me to think about my photography (and art) again.
So here are some of my shots.
"Mystic Beach - Vancouver Island"
I just love the lighting in this picture.
So here are some of my shots.
"Mystic Beach - Vancouver Island"I just love the lighting in this picture.
"Pirates Park Pier - Protection Island, Nanaimo"It's a study of a deep depth of field, with some good colour and light. It's an awesome little island, with an awsome little restuarant, The Dinghy Dock, on it, just about a 10 minute little walk on ferry ride from Nainimo main harbour.
"Tall Ship - Victoria Harbour"This was from last years Tall Ship festival. We got there a little late, but I got a good silhouette shot of one of the tall ships.
"Fall Empress Hotel - Victoria"This was taken across the harbour from the Empress, as the sun was begining to set. I love how the colours turned out.
"Bridge - Victoria Harbour"I just love this bridge... it moves up to let large ships in (though I've never seen it up) and things just worked out for that picture. This area that I was in to take the picture is a special spot for me and Ryan at the beginning of the West Song Walkway. (Where he first told me he loved me, out loud.) :)
"Empress from West Song Walkway - Victoria"A beautiful view of the Empress Hotel from the West Song Walkway.
"Christmas Lights on Legislature Building - Victoria"Practicing night shots, and caught this. I love the reflection.
"Prints in Sand - Mystic Beach"Ryan's booted print next to my barefoot print. I love footprints in the sand.
"Stream - Lethbridge, AB"Bored and taking a fine arts degree in University there, I went out and got picture happy. This is only one of many that I ended up kinda liking in the end. The colours are cool, and the lighting was perfect to get some reflection, etc.
"Mr. Pringles Visits the Beach - Mystic Beach"I'm starting a photo series of Mr. Pringles adventure... unfortunately I was very distracted on my honeymoon, or I owuld have gotten pictures of Mr. Pringles in French Polynesia. This is him visiting a Vancouver Island beach and soaking up the sun.
"The Toad - Goldstream"Who doesn't love a bumpy toad? I just love the detail. He posed so nicely for me.
"Ken and Mel - Coombs"Caught this cute picture my sister (in law) and dad (in law) at my brother (in law)s wedding last year. Ain't she a hotty! Love you Mel. :) And love you too dad ;)
These are actually my hot hubby's excellent pictures. Isn't he good. :)
"Friends Have Fun 1 - Victoria"These are some pictures of Kat and I having alot of fun sometime before I married her brother... we still have fun though, even though I went and did that. Kat, when are we getting together again??
"Friends Have Fun 2"Ryan was once again the master behind the camera.
"Friends Have Fun 3"Ain't Kat cute?
"Peek-a-Boo - Victoria"'Think we can come out now?' 'Shhhhh.... we don't want it to find us!'
So there ya go... some pictures to browse.
Other than that, nothing much is new in our world.
Oh, wait, never mind, we got an offer on the place! A couple of days ago. If the conditions are removed by the 4th, our place is for sure sold, for $190, 000. Which is good. Phewf! So yeah, we went and saw the place we're moving into again... we still like it. Thankfully. LOL It's so much bigger and just more open than this place, with its vaulted ceilings and two levels. Found out the buildings used to be part of the hotel in front, and we're in the biggest suite in the building... ie. Penthouse! Cool huh? Anyhow, it'll need a bit of fixing up, but mostly it spretty cool. But because the ceilings are vaulted (ie. slanted) the upstairs office might be hard to arrange. Still, it'll be fun to set up a new house. Then everyones going to have to come see it.
Anyhow, gonna go now. This is probably a long post, not in writing, but in space.
Oh, and I'd love comments on the pictures, ie. Which one is your favourite, etc. Thanks. :)

Sarah, I love the pictures. I love the very first one the most. Actually they are all very good and of course the ones of you and Kathy are so cute. :) Congrats on selling your place!! I can hardly wait to see what your new place is going to look like. :)
Wow Sarah! I love your new layout and photos :) I can't even remember when those photos of you and me were taken. Anyway, I'd really like to have a girl's night tomorrow. I have even rented some girlie movies so you'll have to come over :)
Sarah, I love the new layout, it's really pretty. Congrats on selling your place, hope you have lots of fun moving, and setting up house. Pretty pictures, I had to look at that one of me and my dad forever before I figured out that that was me...lol
Oh, very nice pictures, they're really quite good. I like the Mr. Pringles idea, it's cute. I love the new layout as well. And the pics of you and Kat are awesome. Congrats on hopefully selling your old place. Maybe I'll have to come and see your new place when I come up to Victoria sometime this month. :)
Very nice layout, Sarah. You also have some very nice photos. I love the tall ship one. And the river ones that Ryan took. They were all nice, actually, but my favorite one is the tall ship.
My favorite is the footprints, I think it's neat.
Wow, Sarah you take awesome pictures! And so does Ryan.
We should go on a 'photography day' sometime, hehe
The Pringles is my fav, great angle!
Glad to hear that you have sold your place, moving is fun ... except when you don't spend a fortune =P
And the blue layout now, is fantastic!
This is hilarious. Every time I log on, this page looks different. I like this one better than the last, but I still think the first one was really beautiful...
Hope you and Ryan are doing well. Love you both.
Wow, I was about to say the same thing, Mel. I agree with you completely. *grin*
Thanks for the girls night Kat :) Next time, we pick the movie ;)
Thanks for your comments guys :)
Yeah, I've been having a stupid time with this layout stuff... I'd love one, but I wouldn't be able to get it to work right.... etc. I'm html handicapped. LOL I even now just had to fix the comment thing on this new layout. They weren't working. You couldn't get to them, or make a comment, or see them or anything. But I fixed it!! I'm so clever. Stupid html!!
And yes, as my new post states, we're now once again waiting about the sale of this place... can't wait till this is over and we've moved.
