Lenin in Richmond, BC


A very interesting sculpture has popped up recently in Richmond, BC and I stumbled upon it today by accident. It was attracting a lot of attention and lots of motorists stopped to take a look and many got out of their cars to take pictures as did I. The interesting thing about this sculpture is that it also has a figure of Chairman Mao atop of Lenin's head with a balance bar. So as can be imagined a lot of talk about what the artists are trying to say here with this piece is usually the topic of discussion amongst viewers. Upon further digging on the internet I found out this is part of the Vancouver Biennale and around the city there are various art instalments.

I found it just so surreal that I decided to post process some of my shots and give it a more other worldly look. I tried some HDR and then went really crazy and did some that give it almost a comic book feel. First day of the new year and already trying to be a bit more on the creative side, hahaha..

Vancouver Zombie Walk

This past weekend a different and probably one of the strangest annual events happened in town. I wasn't planning on shooting this event but it more or less happened upon me by sheer coincidence. To see hundreds of walking dead in broad daylight on one of the nicest and hottest days of the year in Vancouver was truly a bit surreal. Here are a few shots that I did some work on in Photoshop to give them that "zombie" look.
