A quick detour on the way to work yielded this pre-dawn shot of Vancouver from the Cypress Mountain lookout:
It was friggin’ cold though…next time I’ll plan ahead and bring a jacket (I wasn’t quite prepared for the winter temperatures since I was going to work).
Here’s an inexpensive way to add a macro mode to your iPhone. By default, the iPhone’s camera isn’t that great…let alone for macro (closeup) shots. Simply holding a magnifying glass (or plastic) lens in front of the iPhone’s camera will let you get a lot closer (and in focus): Normal: Macro: Normal: Macro: The lens…
I headed downtown tonight to check out Third Tuesday Vancouver at the Network Hub. Jeff Young was the guest tonight speaking about many topics and their legal implications online.

What a great shot, and proof that being brave and getting the right timing really does pay off! ;)
