After shooting for quite some time selling my photos of sailing, photo shoots, weddings etc. I was worried that I couldn't do any art, or "urban" stuff. I also hadn't taken a picture in a over a week.

I walked for hours today and got a couple shots of downtown Vancouver on a mild winter day.

Both were monopod shots with a mini ballhead. 1Ds Mk. I.

I gotta get back in the groove of shooting this kind of sky...

people will always try to stop you doing the right thing if it is unconventional
Full frame and some primes.

Good shots there, I love the street corner one there, pretty steady hand. Also like the sign one, a little human interest closer to the sign might have been cool though.

Really sharp pics! It pays to bring along a monopod.

Nice shots, considering you held the monopod steady enough while hand firing your flash. The 2nd is my fav.

Couple of DSLRs, number of lenses and other stuff... plenty short on talent.
