I shop in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside (DTES) most days and it’s been a few years since I posted photos of the desperation of drug users in the area.
I became numb to the situation years ago as I see scenes like this in large numbers on every DTES trip. Most of the people seen like this on the streets of the DTES will likely not die as the response of emergency services are called here dozens of times a day. On Monday I counted 11 emergency service vehicles attending drug users within a 2 block area.
More deaths occur by people alone at their place of abode. Since the province declared an emergency health condition in 2016, the problem has only gotten more disheartening.
The supply of more toxic drugs with more lethal consequences has become worse. There appears to be little headway made in curtailing the illegal supply.
What is happening to this users leg, Courtesy Nursing Times:
This user shows leg ulceration increasingly common in a younger age group of people who inject drugs.
Venous leg ulceration is categorized as end-stage venous disease and is usually preceded by visible signs of venous insufficiency on the lower leg such as ankle or Varicose veins.
People who inject ‘below the belt’ – namely, into their groin, legs and feet increase their risk of developing venous disease and, subsequently, leg ulceration.
Poor injection technique increases the risk of damage. Injecting in the legs or groin (femoral vein) are known risk factors for development of leg ulceration.
With repeated injecting the femoral vein’s lumen becomes narrowed, leading to back pressure and venous hypertension in the lower legs, causing collateral veins to swell and become varicose. Feet may become discoloured and purple due to venous congestion.
Further disease of the venous system may develop and other signs become visible on the lower legs such as skin staining, ankle flare and an inverted champagne bottle-shaped leg.
The latest report from the BC Coroners Service suggested it's time to post again. Here are three.

BC Coroners Service drug toxicity death update through June 2024:
At least 1,158 British Columbians have lost their lives to unregulated drug toxicity in the first half of 2024, according to preliminary data from the BC Coroners Service (BCCS).
The findings show there were 181 and 185 suspected unregulated drug deaths in May and June 2024, respectively. Though the number of deaths to date this year is lower than at the same mark over the previous three years, approximately six people are still dying each day because of unregulated toxic drugs.
“People are continuing to lose their loved ones in communities across B.C. at a tragic rate,” said John McNamee, acting chief coroner. “Even as the figures reflect a 9% decrease in the number of deaths reported to the coroners service during the first six months of this year from 2023, the number of lives lost is still significant.”
Nearly half of reported deaths in May and June were people between the ages of 30 and 49. While males account for 72% of deaths so far in 2024, the rate of deaths among females continues to rise and currently accounts for 28% of deaths in 2024.
More than one-fifth of the lives lost so far in 2024 have been in Vancouver (22%).
Fentanyl continues to be the driver of unregulated drug-toxicity deaths, detected in 82% of expedited toxicological tests conducted so far in 2024.
Unregulated drug toxicity remains the leading cause of death in British Columbia for those age 10 to 59, accounting for more deaths than homicides, suicides, accidents and natural diseases combined. Since the public-health emergency was declared in April 2016, more than 14,948 people have lost their lives to unregulated toxic drugs.

UMass Boston student Christopher Wyman submitted this photo of UMass Boston's hockey team. The photo was taken after the team won its third straight Stovepipe tournament in New Hampshire.
I received an email from a coworker about a retiring professor trying to retrieve data off of old computers. Our central IT was unable to assist due to the age of the machines. The professor was trying to move files from a Mac OS X 10.2, 10.4, and NeXT computer. My heart skipped a beat after that reading that last one. Moving the vintage Mac files would be no problem because I keep those tools handy. I restore vintage Apple //, Macintosh, and other hardware as a hobby.
If you don't know what a NeXT computer is, it's this insanely expensive computer built by Steve Jobs after he was ousted from Apple in the 1980's. It ran Unix, had a gorgeous graphical user interface, and if you use OS X today it is still the foundational basis for the operating system. It was lightyears ahead of anything else out there at the time. Have you ever visited a website before? The first webpage was served on a NeXTcube.
I've never seen a working NeXT computer before though. I saw one in Berlin in a museum and read about them extensively, but I had no idea that our university actually had them.
I immediately went to the professor's office and he showed me what he was trying to do. We talked a little bit about vintage hardware and I told him that I'd never seen a working NeXT before. I was a little hesitant to respond because day-to-day we're flooded with tickets IT support isn't really my thing. Sometimes users, especially tenured professors, need a delicate approach because of their demands. This person could not have been more affable, kind, and good hearted. After talking a while he said he would rather have the hardware saved than go to scrap per university policy.
In the interest of archiving his data and this magnificent hardware I will be cooperating with him to save this NeXT computer. I've also agreed to save the Mac Cube and Power Macintosh G3. Twist my arm. They'll become archive computers if anyone needs a WordPerfect 3.5 file converted. Yes, people still have those.
I decided to document everything in place before moving it all to a secure location. That includes the NeXT computer, original manuals, flyers, software, printers, accessories, and even the original boxes.
The plan is to document EVERYTHING in detail. So stay tuned for future updates.

One for the Flickr user “Renown354” whose Birthday 🎁 will be tomorrow (20th April). This bus type (Volvo B10BLE Wright Renown) is his favourite so I thought I’d be kind and post this pic of First South Yorkshire’s T884ODT, seen at Crystal Peaks bus station in September 2013.
Flickr user JeremyHall left me a comment on my 'Freezer' photo asking me to post some information on what post-processing I did in his new group, 'How I Did It'... so I am doing just that!
The final photo can be seen here.
I started with three separate images taken with the Canon 40D. I was using Auto Exposure Bracketing, with the camera set to take exposures at -2,0,+2 EV.
(Side note for 40D users! The exposure bracketing on the 40D won't go any further that +-2, but one cool thing that I've found is that you can rotate the control wheel so your middle exposure is set to -2, and your three bracketed shots will actually be -4,-2,0 EV. Scroll the wheel all the way to the other end of the spectrum and you'll have +4, +2, 0 EV... so effectively you've taken five shots between -4 and +4 with two shutter presses!)
So I took those three exposures and used Photoshop to automatically align them. I shot these with a timer on a tripod, so there was no movement between shots... but in cases where there is movement, I find Photoshop does a much better job than Photomatix at aligning the images.
Save that as a tif, open in Photomatix for tonemapping. Really I have found that every photo requires different settings in Photomatix, but all the sliders and options are laid out in plain view so it's very easy to experiment. Recently I've found that I like to 'over-HDR' the image and then selectively scale it back in Photoshop. So the photo labeled 'Photomatix Tonemap' in the image above was really never meant to be seen by anyone other than me :D I dislike that kind of overdone-HDR shot, and if I wasn't planning on doing any other work after tonemapping, I would have set the overall HDR effect much lower. HDR can really help a shot with a wide range of tones, from dark to light... but the downside is all the extreme highlights and shadows are kind of being evened out, which can make things look flat (to me). For example, look at the ceiling in the image labeled 'Photomatix Tonemap' above. The ceiling is nice and detailed, but it also appears that it's getting just as much light as the freezer in the foreground (which you can see is not the case from the original photos). More on this later.
I saved the tonemapped image to another tif, and brought it into Lightroom. There I changed some things which might seem strange. I took the color saturation of the image almost to zero. Then I made large adjustments to the 'Camera Calibration' section to give a cyan cast to the entire image. Then I worked with the 'Split Toning' section to make the shadows a dark blue-purple, and the highlights a yellow-green. I adjusted the tone curve a little bit and saved these adjustments to a preset called 'Decay Cold'.
I applied those presets to the original '0 EV' shot, so I had one blue-green colored tonemapped image (labeled 'Lightroom Adjusted' in the image above) and one blue-green colored original photo (labeled '0 EV Lightroom Adjusted' in the image above).
I brought both of them into Photoshop, placed the HDR shot as the top layer, and added a mask to it. Then I chose a brush with a low hardness setting and started painting over the areas I didn't want such an extreme amount of 'HDR-look'. You can see from the mask that I got rid of a lot of the HDR effect on the front of the freezer, on the ceiling, and on the back wall. I left the most HDR effect in the ice, because I thought it looked awesome :D Lastly, I placed a Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer over everything and used a gradient mask to apply it only to the ceiling - to darken it up. I think this brings back the sense of depth in the shot.
This was by far the most post-processing work I've done on a photo, but it paid off, since it became my most commented on, most favorited, and most interesting photo according to Flickr!

Our boat safari on the White Nile brought us close to the famous Murchison waterfalls. On our way up-stream we saw many birds, hippos and nile crocodiles. Then our boat stopped a short distance from the falls and we continued our journey on foot. The closer we came towards the falls the more stunning the view became. Once we reached the highes point above the falls we had a breathtaking view on both water streams either side of the central island. From there we came closer and closer to the thundering water. More and more spray engulfed us and our cameras but also painted a beautiful rainbow in the sky. Soon we stood close to the waterfall and we could feel the power behind these masses of water forcing its way through the narrow gap in the rock. We could have watched this hypnotic scene for much longer but we had to continue our walk and soon after we met our fantastic driver Beki from Great Lakes Safaris at the car park. What an amazing experience, what a fantastic sight and everlasting impression we lived to see right in the heart of Africa.

Thanks to another flickr user,Thunderman aka Nature Nerd, I was informed of the fixture sale occurring, so I went down to get some interior photos before Safeway begins work on converting the building, which will be next week, August 24th.
It was neat to have been able to go in here again after almost 2 years of being closed up. I asked the guy doing the fixture sale if it was ok to take photos, he said yes, so I went home and got my camera to take as many photos of the store as I could, he also informed me that it was fine to go in the storeroom and office areas
