See The World

The 99 B-Line is a bus I catch all the time. It always amazes me how many interesting characters get on and off this bus. On this night, I had some drinks with my friend and I loved the way she used her hands when she spoke...then I caught the bus home. The man with the mustache and the cap looked so unshakable and thoughtful I couldn't take my eyes off him. I think everyone shared a moment when we were serenaded at a bus stop by a group of hippies. I am forever amazed by beauty in seemingly 'boring' life around us.

PINKY

Pinky is Vancouver's number one laundromat. This video captures the atmosphere of this unique place. The owner eating his dinner watching kung-fu movies in the background, the awesome fifites style 'Pinky' logo out front, the fake flowers, the noise of the collective dryers, the contemplative looks of my girlfriend waiting for her washing...this place has it all. I love how the mirror reflects nothing going on. To me Pinky is like life and the Ben Lee lyric 'A lot goes on, but nothing happens'.
