A Golden World

I’m a screw up. Try to keep that in mind.

Photo Blog Saturn-daze

Posted by Jeff on Saturday, 1 March, 2008

Ahh, classical Roman and Greek pagan civilization. 2000 years of seperation and still the western world is based almost solely on paganism, simply dressed up to worship a Jew nailed to wood rather than for Jupiter, or even Saturn (to whom Saturday is directly named for).

But alas, no need to expose the many flaws of Christianity. Rather, my own, as I had hopes to post more this week, but work has been kicking me in the bollocks more that I’ve been used to as of late. But, in an act of sheer spite, I figured it might be mirthfully ironic to photograph some of my favourite buildings in the warzone that has been dragging me down a bit this week.

So instead of continuing the ramble (or should that be rant), on with the photos:

Marine Building #1

For those not familiar with Vancouver, this is the Marine Building. It also stands in for the Baxter Building in the Fantastic Four films, as well as the front of the Daily Planet in Smallville.

Marine Building #2

Another view, this time looking north onto the building.

Marine Building Entrance

Front entrance. This is the part of the building that seems to be filmed most. Wonder why, eh?

Marine Building Detail

Many details exist on this Art-Deco building, all done by hand.

Fountain outside 200 Burrard

Now past the Marine Building, I decided to try a long exposure on this water feature (this WITHOUT the use of a tripod, I might add).

Reflection from 999 Hastings

I had this idea shooting the reflection in the 999 Hastings building (AXA Place). Yes all, it is photoshopped (I still have yet to see a camera that lets you do this in camera).

I do have more pics, but I’ll save them for another day.

That is all.
