"Oh my beloved sound
---my very precious voice
Do not come out yet
---do not pass out yet
I will pay respect first
---I will render courtesy...
Please do not allow
---my voice to falter
Do not make my voice
---unpleasant to hear...
Now I have rendered courtesy
---I have paid respect
Soar up my voice
---surge up my dear sound...
I will notify
---I will summon Agwawalu Libunan...
Lend your voice to me..."

- Tala-andig storyteller's invocation.

I've noticed that I seem to take alot of pictures of signs. So I figured I might as well collect them in a theme. Hope ya like em!

A non-representative sample of homes in the Vancouver city area. The real estate market in the city is quite healthy (read: expensive), with the highest growth area being condominiums. This little series is going to focus on homes in the South Vancouver area.

This is a series of high-contrast colour and b/w pics of the Vancouver urban landscape ... with a sprinkling of anomie! ;-)

I invite y'all to take a bit of a stroll down Main Street Vancouver!

We are going to begin at Main and 13th at the Pinky Coin-op Laundry House and walk north, all the way downtown, to Main and Hastings. It's a nice little 3-4 km wander.

On the way we'll past small town shops, look over mountain vistas, see the train station, saunter through China town, and find ourselves in downtown Van-city!

So take your kiddies in hand, grab some cotton candy, and put on your sunglasses... ;-)

I'm a fan of the streetshot and these are my humble attempts. I still find it difficult to achieve the pics that I have in my head, but I'm learning. Honest critiques are very welcome.
