Blue sky, clouds, Burrard Building
You know, there are lots of other websites out there for hosting and sharing photos online, but the thing that really impressed me about Flickr from the very beginning was the strong sense of community the site had. It's definitely the people that have kept me coming back and sharing my vision of the world around me for the better part of three years now. And the coolest part of this whole "social networking" thing? Meeting the people whose photos you comment on, are inspired by, and who spend their time commenting on yours.
Today I was lucky enough to spend my afternoon and early evening with Kiyoshi-san on the first day of his seventh visit from Japan to Vancouver. We walked around, shot lots of photos, ate some food, and had a pretty damn good time. And we were treated to this amazing play of light and clouds on the south face of the Burrard Building as we turned off of Burrard onto Alberni. A quick glance skyward and cameras instantly snapped to our faces... we revelled in the 90 seconds or so of truly glorious light. Vancouver, BC. September 1, 2009.
