I attended the school of hard knocks. I came from an industrial, blue collar, inner city
neighborhood and overcame many obstacles people told me would prevent me from achieving my goals. It wasn't easy to get where we are at today.

Well, I've only had the chance to shoot Picture Lake once so far, but I am itchin' to get back up there sometime soon.
Anyway, this is from September. I revisited it today, because I was pretty unhappy with almost all of my shots that day because of the horrific lens flare I was getting from the circular polarizer I was using. I should have been more careful and/or used a lens hood.
I suppose this is a lesson learned. Anyway, I went through the 60 or so shots I took up there that day, and found this series that was lacking the annoying flare!
The real reason I brought this one back to life is because I had intended to put one of the Shuksan images in the "gallery" I set up today at Boxley's in North Bend, but after printing and framing the 20x30, I was too disgusted with the flare to display it, so I put it back in the car and brought it back home with me...
I do like this one, because if you look closely you can see a dragon fly =)

Don't try too hard, brush your hair, dab a spot of perfume here and there!
Then fall asleep and dream of the girl you are :-)
SOHN - Lessons
Of lessons learned, of lessons learned
Of bridges burned, of bridges burned
This time I'll do things differently
This time I'd like to need you less
I'm struggling, I'm struggling
I've given in, I've given in
This time I'll keep an overview
This time I'll keep away from you

For Project Soul Pancake: Admire An Old Building
While living in the Rocky Mountains is great for it's nature, it's quite lacking in any real ancient buildings to explore. While I wish I had some abandonded hospitals or schools or skyscrapers to wander through, I'm afraid that most of our buildings are still very much in use. Since this area really didn't start to develop until the gold rushes in the late 1800's most of our "old buildings" are from that time period, including the one in the photo above.
Built in the early 1900's this building was originally a residential school comissioned by the Canadian Government and run by the Catholic Church to "educate and house" first nations children. Essentially the government, along with the church wanted to assimilate first nations people into "european life" in the new world and this was their way of doing it and it wasn't optional, it was mandatory. For such a beautiful building it holds what I'm sure is a dark history, I tried to find some stories about or some elders to tell me about it but I haven't heard back yet. I feel that this is such a tragic part of Canadian history that often gets overlooked, it makes me sad to think that at the time this was how our government acted. The building stopped being used as a school in 1970's and is now a part of a hotel and resort complex, an attempt at reclaiming the building for more positive uses I suppose. I've only ever been inside this building once and it held in it some very strong vibes and emotions, as it would after being used in such a way.
A couple of weeks ago, Oskar Smolokowski - Head of Camera at Impossible Project - visited the Apple Store in Covent Garden to show off the Instant Lab, and talk Impossible things. He had a prop, I took a snap on my iPhone, passed it through my own (not bisected) Instant Lab...
ALWAYS CHECK YOUR ISO SETTINGS! I had the opportunity to sit down by the water for a bit today, and came back with quite a few shots. Once I opened them in Lightroom, I realized that I had left my ISO settings to 800... resulting in way more grain than I needed.
Luminar2018 helped, but I could have done better.
Sheesh.
