Boris + Edmonton + December = Photos

So I was up in E-Town over the weekend. If you didn't know that by now, and was wondering where I was at the Calgary meet on Friday, shame on you...

I really wasn't much in control over the schedule so I only got a few chances to take pics...

HardHatDan --> Boris550 --> Coldrsx











Yeeeeehaaaaaaw!













Going downtown...














Looking back... buh bye E-Town.


I would have loved to take more photos, but almost all my time was used up visiting family. Maybe sometime I can come to E-Town by myself and stay for the weekend. Don't have a car though, don't want to rent one, don't want to take the bus, and don't want to go through the trouble of taking a plane. Give my a high speed train and we'll make it happen. Yeah.

Excellent photos Boris550, I would have liked to meet you but I got all tied up with Christmas. Hopefully there will be another opportunity to meet.

Gorgeous photos! Thanx for posting! :-)
E-town is beautiful in winter, maybe my next visit should be that time of year.

The one thing I've always been jealous of is Edmonton's bridges across the valley. They really lead to some amazingly epic views.

I was waiting for some comments to determine whether I should send them over there or not. I guess I will, though I am still very disappointed that I couldn't take many more.

Sure, I'm up for that. The real problem though is that whenever I am up there it is to see family and old neighbours (family friends nowadays) so it is a lack of time. That and the fact that taking a bus to Edmonton doesn't sound really desirable...

God damn Sho that made me laugh!

Oh fuck, again with the profanity, Hootch is going to point out my dull wit and slow mind. Jesus Christ.

Boris, I might be going up in early Feb to visit a friend. Feel free to catch a lift with me. I'll be spending an entire day shooting. It could be fun.

That would be great. Something to really consider. When it gets closer to the date mention it again!

Sure will. It would be good to have some company. WE can indluge one anothers urban oriented dorkyness.
I'll tell you the exact weekend as the date approachs.

Edit: MAyeb a few E-Town forumers would like to come out for a shoot with B and I. A homegrown guide would be an asset. I guess you know the city pretty damn well though, eh Boris? Considering its your palce of birth (if I remmeber correctly) and all.

I'm down with this idea. Maybe later, I can come down to Calgary and get the homegrown tour down there too.
Any speculation on when you guys want to come up to the Great White North?
