These days I’ve been experimenting with black and white conversions and have taken a liking to processing photos with and without colour. Removing the colour in an image can really bring attention to parts of the image that did not previously stand out. Don’t be afraid to play around with your processing to create another version of an image. It may just turn out to be your favourite!

We went downtown Vancouver today to see the Olympic Cauldron burning brightly. It was a good thing I brought my telephoto lens with me so I could photograph from a block away rather than brave the crowds who gathered closer to the base of the structure. It was worth the walk to see it!

We took a little walk last week just before the Olympics started here in Vancouver. My husband took this photo of the Bay building downtown adorned with Olympic banners. There’s just something about night photography that is beautiful. Try it sometime!

I spent Valentine’s Day with my beloved husband and sweet daughter. Although love is a reoccurring theme in our household every single day, any day to celebrate relationships is a good thing.
