Graffiti all over the pay phone; 10th and Granville, Vancouver

Cool reflections in the store window, Vancouver, Broadway and Granville. I really like this picture. It’s confusing, familiar, abstract and geometrical. #urban #street #art #photo #Vancouver

Granville Loop Park, just south of the Granville Bridge, Vancouver

The Fluevog shoe store 837 Granville street, Vancouver

Park your car. Drive Fluevog

I really dig Fluevogs. They are fantastically well designed and well made shoes and boots.

My nice new Fluevog CISL Radio’s in Blue Purple. (from the Fluevog website) “True to his Canadian roots, John broadcasts another hip style in the modern Radio family with the CISL. Named after Vancouver’s soft oldies station broadcasting at 650 AM, CISL is one of Canada’s few remaining music stations on the AM dial. Featuring a modern twist using laser etching on the nostalgic wingtip motif with grosgrain (word score!) piping, an upturned toe, and a tunite heel & sole, The CISL will bring you the smooth, sweet tunes of yesteryear. Tune in, Turn on, and Vog out!”
