More Stellar Stuffs from Halifax

This post goes to Peter Henry and Michael Minnick. First, Peter. This prolific photographer and I shot back in the earlier days of my modeling career.

Notes on a West Coast City

I am writing to you from Vancouver. It is the perfect tale of two cities. Well, that would be the tale of the city I experienced when I relocated here in 2001 and the tale of the city as it is now in 2011. So much has changed. And this sense of change continues unabated.
