SO MANY PICTURES. WTA poco party, 420 at the art gallery, a stranger bleeding from his head, epic cliff photos, nose tampons, my building on fire, rode a pool, naked girl, bullets on a bike headtube, some photos of us (except Ian) sucking at bikes, etc.

Note: These pictures are in reverse chronological order and in decreasing chronological accuracy. It’s gotten to the point where I have no idea when pictures were taken anymore, they all seem like mashelated pixels now.

Brian and I rode UBC.

I am envisioning a girl in a light white dress standing in the field for a Spring fashion photo feature. Only lacking a girl and a dress.

We hit the omnipresent in everyones hearts pumptrack. I am sick with the oldmancoughcold and had issues with mucus valiantly escaping out of my nose every-time I did a spun or took a landing. So I tamponed my nose.

IT WORKED SO WELL. Pic by Brian Park.

Then we went to a legendary place on the UBC campus called THE POINT. It is a spot with a couple cliff points that overlooks the water and it’s utterly amazing. Approximately 7310 girls have been finger-banged there over the history of the campus. World heritage site.

Best place in the universe. Seriously.

The foreground is the little section of land before a 30 ft cliff drop. I have provided directions on where you should finger-bang your girl.

One day I woke up to the fire alarm going off. Smelling smoke, I hastily put pants on and took my camera outside to find four fire trucks.

On first glance it looked like the smoke was coming from the building next door….

But I quickly realized it was my building that was on fire.

Turns out some trash on someone’s balcony had caught fire. It was doused quickly, but if it wasn’t for the quick response of the Vancouver Fire Dept. that shit would’ve spread so fast. Would very much like to thank them for coming so quickly or I would’ve been charred in my sleep.

Went to a section of Wreck beach with a friend to shoot some photos. The weather was angry.

And we shot this photo.

Went to a friend’s house to bang on musical instruments.

Robyn!

The next bunch of photos are all random pictures that don’t fit in anywhere. Ok? Yes? Good, like bees wax on a tree top.

Went to Ikea and had a plate of fresh smoked salmon and a bottle of local beer, all for under ten dollars. I LOVE IKEA. If I ever met a girl called Ikea I’d want her to have my babies so bad.

DON’T MESS WITH THIS GUY or he will fixie your ass.

Stu and I went to a camera swap… A hall full of old camera shit + Stuart Kennedy + a pocket full of cash is a site to behold.

I asked him to sum up his feelings in a single expression and he gave me this.

Continuing with Stu’s great facial expressions.

Rawwwr.

Brian 180. Truth is he is levitating because of his unwavering belief in Scientology, being L. Ron Hubbard reincarnated on NSMB and all.

A slide.

Helen gave me a very disapproving exclamation after I took this photo. Sory!

I have a story: This guy walks into a camera store and every salesman there has an orgasm. The end.

Cannot get enough of this sign.

Such an awsome picture.

OK, no more random. Back to series’!

WTA housewarming party out in POCO. Brian and Zoë baked a boobs cake for it. baked a boobs. hmm. Anyway, we got very drunk for it and I passed out on the skytrain ride there.

The house was amazing. Massive with a ton of rooms. This one was really big and the only thing in it was a tent. I found out that you can only do one of two things in this tent-
1. Make out with one or more girls.
2. Fight.
To deviate from this law will mean your breaking house rules and will have your head punched in then you will be pissed on while a tiger contemplates picking your nose.

KING AMONGST MEN! Evan didn’t get into a brawl at this party though. I was kind of disappointed.

This was amazing. We were all standing around smoking hookah when out of nowhere some people spontaneously broke into the Canadian national anthem. EVERYONE at the party promptly gathered in the living room (about 50 drunk individuals) and joined in. I was shell shocked and caught off guard, it was the most Canadian moment of my life. Fuck hockey. Singing the national anthem with The White Trash Army in the suburbs… that has to be the quintessential Canadian experience.

Internet legend Jessie Smith.

Poof.

Massive fan of the print. I want that as a desktop wallpaper.

Photo Two.

We went to the beach so Stu could take pictures of a chair with his 4X5. People look so funny when they are taking pictures with a large format camera, like they have their head up an elephant’s ass or something.

The other side of the camera. You’d think he was taking portraits of us, but you are wrong. He was taking pictures of a wall instead.

What a lovely wall.

Couldn’t resist.

Went riding with Robyn and Brian. Cool places.

BOOOBBBB the builder… Can he fix it? BOOOBBB the builder… YES. HE. CAN.

Hi strangers!

One of the best sensations I can remember of my childhood was being on a swing.

Random kid. I hope he makes good use of his youth for swinging.

Not entirely sure why we did this but it was fun.

Brian crossing back to safe lands.

Word on the interstreets was a pool had been drained in the middle of Vancouver. Matt Sinclair did some pre-investigating and when the weather was ripe we headed in… Next three pics by Matt.

Have to say riding it was a lifelong dream fulfilled. Always wanted to ride a pool.

Matt.

We went back that night bringing BMX riding Machine Ian Moult. It was absurd. How this guy can go so high (and in the dark!) is beyond comprehension. We shot some photooos.

Andy made a couple wallpapers out of them. If you still haven’t seen them you can nab them here.

PS:

Took pictures on 420 at the art gallery.. SMOKE WEED EVERYDAY
Except it was packed as hell and a terrible experience. First of all there was an emo band. An emo band? Rubbish emo music is clearly what everyone wants to listen to when they’re all high and mellowed out.

You know who.

Some girl contemplates something while somebody sells something in a baggie.

There were a ton of people meandering the crowd selling drugs in baggies, but this guy…. Now this is the way to do it. What an enterprising young man.

This girl got out of there pretty quick. Pretty sure she would’ve been mauled by stoned horny 15 year olds had she stayed longer. This event gets worst and worst every year.

On a more sobering note, this dude was lying on the ground at the intersection a block from the art gallery. He was getting plenty of help by the time I got there so I went into picture taking mode… It was gnarly though, he didn’t look in fantastic shape. Hope he’s alright.
