A hotel sign perches precariously as a cloud contemplates enveloping it. A treacherous staircase under moody light. Pedestrians oblivious to the layers of the architecture around them. Light kisses the concrete in a parkade. A pedestrian is none the wiser.

"How does a country burst? To answer this question, it helps to see matters as do the president and the vice-president: from inside a grift bubble."

"The Grift Bubble: A Political Theory of American Collapse"
"Those who work against the grifters... may be acting from love, or from law, because they know that these things are real. And so they should also know, in acting thus, that they are the patriots."

“I keep thinking of Wiley Coyote at the edge of a cliff in the roadrunner cartoons, and he doesn’t fall until he looks down. The question is, when are people going to look down? The finances don’t make any sense, and I think they’re starting to look down.”

Yes, it's a bubble. And yes, it's going to burst.

A woman makes her way down Pender as viewed through multiple windows in a storefront. Pedestrians wait to cross as viewed via a storefront reflection.

Various moments for your consideration

#BritishColumbia #StreetPhotography #Vancouver #VanSPC
Patrons in a busy cafe window. A woman quietly sells groceries on the pavement beneath an overpass. Employees pass the time at a quiet muffler shop. Looming clouds move in at a moody intersection.

October selections

#BritishColumbia #StreetPhotography #Vancouver #VanSPC
A pharmacy glows under twilight. A man shares his book review. Silhouettes of riders on the bus. A diner sits on a heated patio amongst autumn colours.

A man and his reflection glance at the photographer at an intersection. A pedestrian seemingly folds in on himself. A woman, her face aglow, quietly looks down at the pavement. Her reflection does much the same. A woman glances at the photographer amidst a collection of people on a busy street.

Retail reflections

A reflection in a storefront mirror frames a woman walking across the street. A mirror in a storefront reflects a cafe street scene.

A mural of a swarm of wasps with the terminal in the background. Rail lines arc into the distance through a chain-link fence. A school of vehicle swim past a salmon mural.

Fleeting moments under October sun

#NikonF3 #IlfordHP5 #BlackAndWhite #FilmPhotography #StreetPhotography #BelieveInFilm #Vancouver #Vanspc #HomeDeveloping
Downtown buildings loom as daylight reaches for street level. The shadows of pedestrians navigate a boulevard. People move through an intersection filled with oblique light. A young man watches a basketball arc toward the basket in a schoolyard.

A woman’s eyes viewed in the rearview mirror as a cars heads down the highway. Sunbeams channel through clouds into a dark valley. A pair of boots stand alone in a dirt clearing.

Victoria Drive sidewalk scenes

#BritishColumbia #StreetPhotography #Vancouver #VanSPC
A woman crosses a busy street as traffic swarms around her. Pedestrians wait for the bus in a cluttered shop doorway. Dolls and mannequins peer out at a window at the traffic-filled streets.

Desert studies, Chaparrosa Peak

A large boulder nestles precariously atop a field of rocks. An agave as viewed from above. A chiselled rock outcropping before moody skies. A weathered Joshua tree stands in the last rays of the day.

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later.

Selections from September's scavenging

#LeicaM6 #IlfordHP5 #BlackAndWhite #FilmPhotography #StreetPhotography #BelieveInFilm #Vancouver #Vanspc #HomeDeveloping
A look down on pedestrians as they navigate a busy intersection. A dilapidated suburban home from the back alley. A hotel is reflected in the curved roof of a parked car. The photographer captures his reflection in a storefront floral arrangement.

I'd just drive a different car every day, dependin' on how I feel

Cars in various states of disrepair are crammed in a cluttered lot. The hand of an executive pictured in a billboard looms above.

A small man rocks out in the front row of a street concert. A woman sits in a chair with tinfoil in her hair. A man crosses a busy street in the city centre. A person, out of frame enjoys their food in front of a Canadian flag.

Postcards from the last weekend of summer

A man scans the street scene as pedestrians move through the frame. A child in a shark costume attacks Granville Street. A traffic cop guides a vehicle that is going the wrong way. A woman looks down the road into the distance.

I caught up with my Vanspc friends for a downtown photowalk with the inspiring Agnus Burger. Great fun!

#BritishColumbia #StreetPhotography #Vancouver #VanSPC
A man with headphones and sunglasses navigates down the centre of Granville. People at rest by the stairs at the library. Pedestrians navigate through a field of polka dots. A woman moves along the street with a plastic bag full of flowers.
