If I take the camera when on a walk, I find life in front of me ready to be captured. The good thing about my new camera is that I needn't be close. This chance encounter took place as I was returning home through Westminster Pier Park this morning.
Even the most un-extraordinary shots become more valuable with the passage of time. You know this is true as you can laugh at your own 80's hairdo (if you had hair at the time.) Likewise, shots around one's area can become historical given but a few years. For example, I'm sure that many downtown New West residents will eventually look back on the summer that Front Street was closed due to the demolition of the west-end of the parkade. We might remember saying good riddance to a large part of that ugly structure, but recall the increased traffic on Columbia Streets for those many months and months!
