Hi, I'm your friendly Coriolibot (as in "ro-bot").
It would seem Vince (shame on him) hasn't posted a fresh entry in a couple of days, so I am here to keep you entertained no matter what!
The post below is a random entry that we hope you haven't read before. Regular current entries follow. Enjoy, and come back soon for brand new posts!

Vintage! This is a random post. The year was 2006...
These shots are my first attempt at digital darkroom work. They were recorded as RAW files and then « developped » on the computer. Some of them included blended multiple bracketed exposures.
The Seawall most often referred to is Stanley Park’s peripheral pedestrian path, around 10 km long. But in fact the entire construction is almost 30 km in length and follows the water’s edge from Coal Harbour all the way to Kitsilano, uninterrupted.





We now go back to current chronological entries:

Vancouver, like most other cool places, likes jazz. Our jazz festival is currently enthusiastically jamming - pardon the pun - the city streets.
Water St., main artery of Gastown, was closed off to car traffic for two days and on a perfectly sunny Saturday afternoon, I happened to wander by. Music was flowing from a stage set up in the middle of the street and a large crowd had gathered to listen. But off to the side, another crowd seemed to pay no attention to the musicians on stage and stared in awe, heads up and mouths gapping, at a building wall. I am not one to ever be left behind when it comes to looking towards the sky, so I got closer and looked up too.
There, high in the air, hanging from fixed ropes attached to the roof, four human spiders were dancing. They followed the music’s rhythm, graciously bouncing off the vertical facade, flipping, looping, incredibly avoiding the windows and seemingly weightless. The spectacle was eerie and the perspective defied imagination. I scrambled for the camera, slid through the crowd to the foot of the wall and captured these stunning images. (Note: don’t forget to click on one of them!)
