the darkerside to rants

Every year people meet at the Vancouver Art Gallery and start smoking up to celebrate Pot and all it means to them.

Of course I was there this year, you can find a photo gallery on Flickr.

Or you can watch a slideshow I set up below the fold (on a variety of different hosting platforms).

This, btw, is my favourite shot I took:

Now, light up and enjoy the show:

Of course you can download the file directly to your computer form blip.tv

This is a photo that “made itself” so to speak. After I posted the shot on flickr a few people commented that they had “seen it” but apparently nobody had taken it. Funny how that goes eh?

The interesting thing for me in the shot was the light as well as the way the modern architecture of the building I was in (a Chapters) contrasted with the Hotel Vancouver (to the left) and the Vancouver Art Gallery (to the center right).

This photo proofs again that you need to be at the right time at the right place with the right light to make a photo really work.
