Travel Tuesday for 6.23.15: Vancouver, Canada
Traveled: April 2015 for Canada Photo Convention
This past April I headed over to the Pacific Northwest for the Canada Photo Convention. I hadn’t been to Vancouver since I was about 5, so I figured it was high time I headed back. I made sure to arrive a few days before the conference started so that I could enjoy all the beautiful views Vancouver has to offer. The weather was amazing almost the whole time I was there, so I got incredibly lucky on the blue sky front. I rented a bike to ride around Stanley Park, wandered the water front, and took an adorable little rainbow ferry over to Granville Island. I even ran a 10K while I was there (apparently the largest road race in Canada!) and got an even better feel of the neighborhoods.
All in all I was completely smitten with this beautiful city. You can’t go ever go wrong with water and a mountain backdrop in my book. Vancouver, I will be back someday soon!
A note on these photos… I often find myself struggling to figure out what equipment to bring when I travel. As a primarily prime lens shooter, it means my bag can get mighty heavy with a whole slew of different lenses. However, for this trip, I decided on something different and went out and about with just my camera and my 50mm. It was incredibly freeing and I’m so happy with what I captured. Three cheers for minimalist packing!
