Life Is A Road Trip

The Amazing Adventures of a Zoobroker and a Sentiographer

I came to Vancouver to play pool in Soho?

We're staying in Yaletown, which is very similar to Soho in NYC. Irony abounds. Or maybe it's deliberate. Irony can be deliberate. 

I won a legitimate game of pool by dropping the 8 ball in our first game. W00t! Must be the second time I've beaten Zoo...

We went out for a smoke and met up with Jill and a gal who is also a photographer (I apologize - I forget your name! Beer does that to me. Shoot me an email and I will fix it). She proceeded to berate me about not using a flash and my photos being out of focus. I tried to appease her, and that was my first mistake. After trying that out, I went back to doing it my way with available light and at f/1.4. Right then things got better and suddenly we were best of friends!

BTW, she shot the photo of me at the top of the post. Phauxtogs unite! Brothers and sister in glass, be happy with your depth of field and composition. We went inside and Zoo invited Jill to play pool and she nearly kicked his ass, too.

Zoo almost took himself out with a pool cue, he was so worried.

Fun bar - Fussball tables were hopping.

Not far down the street, an apartment dweller didn't feel like going downstairs for a smoke.

And in our crazy hotel, this is the lighting in the elevators. Too swank. Too swank.
