Fun with Fire

This is a photo of home-made flame-throwers lighting the effigy during Burn in the Forest, the BC regional Burning Man event recently held in the Squamish valley. I had an excellent time there, and here are the rest of my photographs.

The eastside cultural crawl inspired me to buff up my photography. Thinking about what I would show if I was displaying a photo exhibit, I went back and remastered one of my all-time favorite shots. Click to enlarge.

Worst hotel in Montreal

chrisdye — 2010-01-28T18:38:34-05:00

I've travelled a lot, and so have read quite a lot of hotel reviews. But Montreal's very own Hotel Eureka has the worst hotel reviews I have ever seen.

A skyscraper with no Seoul

chrisdye — 2010-01-07T01:05:43-05:00

While the the opening of the Burj Dubai hogs the world's headlines, the Ryugyong Hotel, a 105-storey empty building in the heart of Pyongyang, North Korea, is in its 23rd year of construction and would cost 10% of North Korea's GDP to make inhabitable. Whether you are for or against the North Korean nuclear missile programme, you have to admit it it has been more successful than this. Honestly, I still wonder how Kim Jong Il's party was able to win all of the seats in the last North Korean elections after this building fiasco.

Photoshop as web application. Very basic stuff but might be nice to have online access in a pinch. I already miss not having a text tool.

Vancouver Santas

dustin — 2007-12-17T17:24:39-05:00

Santa came early this year in Vancouver. And he came in great numbers.
See more bizarre holiday fun in my Vancouver Santas photoset.

I'm not supposed to tell you that Santa has a Santacon website.

My advice to Santas for next year:
- If you show up at the first meeting point, do it 45 minutes later then advertised.
- Show up at the dinner-time meeting point if you're a night-time Santa.
- Pace yourself. In between giving out gifts, Santa mostly barcrawls.
- Plan to party with Santa all day and/or all night. It's a lot of fun.
- Bring some of your favorite Christmas spirits with you.
- Don't be Santa on an empty stomach.
- Bring your friends. The more the merrier.
