one of the great things about my job as a photographer is that i get to visit some of the greatest places! some of the places that i can thank my job for taking me to are: whistler, montreal, germany, italy, hong kong, philippines, portland, switzerland, calgary, saskatchewan, the okanagan to name a few.
this last weekend i was second shooting for
erin gilmore up the sunshine coast at
rockwater secret cove resort.
i had never been to the sunshine coast, and let me tell you..it won't be my last time! and to think i have a sweet great aunt who lives in gibsons! she did invite me out this summer, so i will DEFINITELY take the kiddies and lover!!
the lifestyle is so incredibly "CHILL". it's awesome. and the scenery absolutely breathtaking.
here are my photos from the roadtrip side of it...enjoy. ;)
ferry odds & ends..

only on the sunshine coasts do you find random chairs at bus stops. we asked a local gent about them, and he said "ya, we donate them to the bus stops so people have somewhere to sit. in fact my wife took one of our old chairs to one last week!" so cool!
