My Commute

One facebook application lets a user choose personalized lists of top-five items. The other day, I filled in five places which I've lived. Then, it posted the listing and tiny thumbnail images on my wall. I had to add a note which made it clear that five spaces weren't enough. The longest I've been anywhere, except during the years of my youth, is now here. I love residing in the Metro-Vancouver area of British Columbia.


I snapped this picture on the way to work this morning. I don't know why I was taking a picture when the traffic lights had changed to green but I assure you, I was at a complete stop when shooting it. I don't mind the twenty-minute drive to the Burnaby Campus of BCIT.

I drove into work in most of the other places I've lived too. Yet, I've not a single photograph to review. It's a shame really. The ability to cheaply capture a moment in two dimensions is rather inspiring. I wish had an image heading over the single bridge to Muharraq, Bahrain back in the day or by the Coffee-Pot Roundabout in old Dubai. In a few years, will I laugh that gas prices were over a buck a liter in today's picture?
