Different Strings

Different Strings

"Different eyes see different things,
Different hearts beat on different strings"
Rush - Different Strings (on Permanent Waves)

Not necessarily a song about guitars, but the words seem apt for this little oddity called the Chapman Stick or just the "stick", a stringed guitar like instrument that plays more like piano keys rather than strumming strings. Bluesy tones provide the backdrop for a Saturday afternoon at the Granville Island Market.

"That doesn't sound right"

"That doesn't sound right"

Of course, there are a million possibilities, all up to the imagination of the viewer, but for some reason I think of this being her cellphone company claiming the monthly phone bill was twice the usual amount :S.

Spent the better part of two days walking around Vancouver. I think I quite literally walked to the point of exhaustion, but it was definitely worth it to just spend time taking pictures :). I can't be sure exactly where, but this was on Granville Street, pretty close to the bridge itself.

Singing The Blues

Singing The Blues

Vancouver is a lovely city. And, as far as the trees and the water and the mountains can take it, it's people who make a city what it is. And with a week of perfect weather, Vancouver did its best to impress me.

This one is from the "touristy" Granville Island Market, a fun place to sit back and watch people. This guy was going all out with his guitar and singing, really getting into the music. It all adds to the atmosphere, a great Saturday afternoon! :)

It took a while to get to this upload, but this time, it wasn't work or laziness. My video card died and needed to be RMA'd, then the vacation out to the west coast. A few pictures are now in queue!

And Around We Go

What happens when you've been lazy for months and not taken any photographs? Well, you start looking through the archives to find stuff you never uploaded. So here's one from our outing at Navy Pier, before the snows descended for the year :)
