Photo Week: Lowell’s Boat Shop
Canon G7
I went looking for eagles and instead found Lowell’s Boat Shop, the oldest continuously operating boat shop in the United States! Who knew a place with such history was just up the road, very cool!! I’m looking forward to going back in the spring –next week?- to make a scale model of the historic Banks Dory!!

Photo Week: Vancouver 2010 @ The WSC
Canon G7 and iPhone
This week features a week long adventure as a fan, spectator, and visitor at the Winter Olympics in Whistler. Gotta love those connections, i had a wonderful week with AP friends wining, dining, and enjoying all that makes the Olympics a wonderful event. This particular selection highlights the highlight of my visit to the Whistler Sliding Center (WSC) to watch the 2-man women’s bobsled finals. Great sport, amazing access, and unbelievably sore calves from hiking the entire length of the track and back. See it a little bigger. And what adventure would be complete without a Prague sighting?
The Greater Vancouver Zoo
Canon Mark IIn, 100-400 zoom lens and Canon G7. It wouldn’t be a complete visit to a new area without visit to a zoo within its 200 mile radius! The Greater Vancouver Zoo, kind of on the way from Seattle to Whistler, is a great leg stretcher! A nice ambling path that doesn’t dead end, the zoo has a nice collection of North American animals and random hoofstock. Stop if it’s on your way, the arctic wolves are cool and the hippos are cute!
pooling resources
Canon G7, Iso: 400, Manual (M), 1/2s, f/4.0
Folks wait in line for their turn to climb on, pose and be photographed with the olympic rings in the Village Square of Whistler, B.C.. A wonderful collaboration of efforts, the line works and flows in that the person behind you is expected to take the photo of you with your camera (while not running off with it as we all fear) returning it as they walk up to pose for their photo as the person behind them readies their camera! Nifty!!

Fog descends on Blackcomb Mountain in Whistler, B.C. Crazy weather, i think there was blue sky and sun behind me!
crazy fast
iPhone Photo
Motion Thursday. Wow these women are crazy, and wow these sleds go super fast!! I had to laugh at so many people trying to make a photo with their point and shoot digital cameras and phones. To actually get a sled in the frame, you have to push the button well before you even see the sled, but when it works, it’s cool!! If i had a looney for every time i heard, “oops i missed it” id have enough for the 3-foot stuffed Quatchi!
