City Living Bus Stops — Sidewalking Victoria
Sometimes I get an idea about one thing and that makes me leap frog to another related, but also separate idea. I would say that is a little bit of what you are going to get with this weeks blog post. A few weeks ago, the City of Victoria removed the old aluminum bus shelter from the bus stop by m

If you are looking for opportunities to work on your photography this year, I am leading another workshop at the Vancouver Island School of Art in April. Feel free to ask me any questions you have! 🙂

Photo Walk: Downtown Victoria | Vancouver Island School of Art
Join Thomas Guerrero for this Saturday afternoon photo walk. Thomas is the writer of Sidewalking Victoria, an informative photography blog written from a pedestrian's perspective. In this afternoon workshop, Thomas will highlight specific areas of the downtown area and focus on specific photographic themes at each stop. Examples are photographing the intersection of lines, both real and shadows, at the foot of the Johnson St Bridge; taking advantage of taking photos at different levels in Bastion Square, and capturing the reflections in windows along Fisgard St in Chinatown. You will learn ways to create a thematic approach to photography as well as discover some fascinating locations in the downtown area. Meet at the school. Suitable for all levels. See supply list SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1:30 - 4:30PM IN-PERSON

This is what combats the rainy day doldrums in a city. We need more of this all over Victoria.

I just love this block of North Park Village a lot because of all of the colours, makes me happy each morning as I walk by.

The Birth of the Capital Culture District — Sidewalking Victoria
Over the last few years we have seen an endless stream of development in Harris Green. At the same time, with the exception of one large project at Government and Herald, the area north of downtown has been relatively quiet. It seems things are beginning to change. We have recently seen Chard Develo

In the running for most picturesque setting for a classic bus stop in Canada (the world?). Prove me wrong.

Hopefully it will still be here on a day where the Olympic mountains are more clearly visible.
