The aftermath, the clean up and the good people of Vancouver
My previous blog post was a difficult one for me. What I witnessed that night affected me greatly and receiving compliments on those images leads to mixed feelings.
As many of you know however, the people of Vancouver are doing all they can to repair the city’s damaged reputation. I’m so happy to be able to post these photographs.
