portrait of a family | Vancouver Photographer

I know some people who vacationed over the holidays in Palm Springs. Others, who went to Mexico. I imagine you all probably know one or two people who traveled to some warm, vacation spot over the holidays to get away from the cold. Personally, I chose to vacation in Vancouver.

Yes. I live in Vancouver.

My wife’s family rented a few rooms at a hotel in down town Vancouver for 3 days after Christmas. We all basically live in Vancouver and the surrounding areas, so no one journeyed too far. I have realized this is what they call a ‘staycation’.

It’s very In-vogue I’ll have you know, all the celebrities are doing it (not a fact). But, it is very Eco-Friendly, or as the kids say ‘Green’. No ozone killing plane rides, or sea polluting cruise ships for us thank you.

Of course, I’m not sure if that fact occurred to any of us. It was a matter of convenience, almost everyone still had to work, so being downtown made that relatively easy.

Anyway, I took pictures. I’ve been reading up on some of great photographers of the century, particularly people like Henri Cartier-Bresson, Andre Kertesz, and Dorothea Lange. I think all the grainy black and white pictures have rubbed off on me, as you can see.

Alright, well, I’m gone for the weekend. Probably post some more stuff monday.

Cheers
