Hollywood North: I went to Vancouver and Took Some Pictures

Illithid Dude · #1 Posted **Jun 21, 2012, 5:23 AM**

EDIT: OH NO! I POSTED THIS IN THE WRONG PHOTO THREAD! QUICK, SOMEBODY MOVE THIS THREAD TO ITS PROPER PLACE!

My dad is a TV producer. He is filming a TV movie in Vancouver. I said, "Can I go to Vancouver?" He said yes. I said, "Can my friend come with us?" He said yes. Thus, I went to Vancouver. These pictures were all taken with a Zeiss 25mm f2 and a Zeiss 35mm f1.4, for those who care about that kind of stuff.

Fun fact: this is my tenth visit to Vancouver!

This is Theos first trip to Vancouver. Theo hates traveling. Here you can see him hating traveling. He hates a lot of things.

My hotel offers a Chinese Breakfast. I said, "Why not?", and I tried the Chinese Breakfast. Thus, the Chinese Breakfast.

Vancouver isn't all glass, you know...

Fun Fact: These are banned in the U.S. However, they are freely available in Vancouver. They are also delicious. I drank an average of three bottles a day.

Theo also hates the sun.

Then I went to the movie set.

Reverse angle!

I had craft services for dinner, but forgot to take a picture.

Then I went to bed.

The next day...

In Vancouver, sunlight never lasts long. I went to the historic area of Downtown. It was cloudy, about to rain. I took one picture, it didn't turn out, said "fuck it", and left.

Theo is a big fan of Epic Meal Time. In Epic Meal Time, they often use A&W hamburgers. We in California do not have A&W. As such, Theo really wanted to try A&W. So we did. I have to say, it wasn't bad. Sure, it's no In and Out, but I'd eat there again.

Holy shit he is smiling!

Not the biggest fan of this picture, but something made me post it anyways...

And a little higher...

See you next time.

I'd wager your Chinese breakfast was better than what I've had here in China. However I guarantee the food here is cheaper, 4 boazi for $.25.

You might have sold me on the Zeiss, the bokeh and colors on this look unbelievable:

Nancy grace is filming a movie?

Looks like a fun trip.

Thanks for the pictures and tour around Vancouver, Illithid Dude!

Beautiful colours and vivid photography. Spectacular sharpness.

I like the variety of Vancouver. I´d like to visit it.

Congrats and greetings from Madrid, Spain!

Nice photo trip. The congee looked killer.

So, poor ol' Theo, huh. Dude hates the sun, yet lives in LA. I'm sure he found a small piece of happiness during the grey, dull day(s) you had in Vancouver.

Let's all hope Theo finds his way.

Lol watch citywatch come on here and claim that no parking lots exist in Vancouver and their downtown is less

than LA's. But yeah great thread and you guys are young like me.

Damn that smoked salmon looked good, it looks like there were regular lox and then chunks too. Great shots.

Great set! And for the record, (you Southern Californian you!) A&W's, while not as numerous as they once were, are liberally sprinkled throughout Norther California... In fact, they were started in Lodi, California, about an hour west from where I grew up. My own small home-town of Jackson had an A&W drive-in until a Bay Area ADA lawyer got it and half of the businesses in town shut down for ADA violations.

That Chinese breakfast looked fantastic - steamed bows are my favorite!

Nice set of photos. When I was a kid, we use to eat at A&W in Bakersfield, California all the time. Then they started combing A&W with KFC into single restaurants, closing down the freestanding joint.
