** Updated August 21 - See below **
Great memories of life in China for me are of the self professed “Photo Geeks”. I had a lot of fun with Hubert, Paul and Blake taking pictures, talking film, light and stuff, and just goofing off. We had several Photo Geek outings, from which some pics on this blog originated from.
However, after moving back to Canada, I’ve taken far fewer pics (other than snapshots of course). Last weekend though the Photo Geeks rode again! We had an unplanned photo shoot Sunday morning at a railway yard in North Van. And while times have changed (everyone is shooting with a DSLR except me!!! Doh!), the magic is still there.
I cannot yet post any pics I took that day (other than the snaps below) as they are, as mentioned, not digital, but on film. Hubes is going to get them processed in Vancouver, after which I can post anything worthy. Instead I decided to put up a little photo essay about the morning…
HUBES
Note the transition; that’s how you get the shot baby!
BLAKE
Doesn’t even let the cap get in the way. Shooting, and looking good!
PAUL
I’m shooting him, shooting Blake, shooting the train. Paul is also in the top photo - can you find him?
ME
Good thing I use Tide. OK, no I don’t, but I haven’t washed these shorts yet and I might hope that I do. Hey, you’ve gotta get geeky to get the shot!

Thanks for the great day guys.
- Update! Both Paul and Hubes have posted pics that I’ve linked to.
** You can see Hubert’s pics from this shoot here!
See Paul’s shots here! **










A mighty thorough post. I had a great time Kev. Hope to repeat next year.

Thanks for the post, Kev! Great times gents. I love the first shot at the top. Film anxiety begone!

Well this is a really rare event but I have to agree with Jamie on this one. NERDS!!

Thanks Hubes! I think it’s a pretty cool shot. Nice lens anyway!!

For what it’s worth, I think this is totally cool! I think you should all proudly wear your “photo geek” name with pride. Can’t wait for more evidence of your reunion!
