:AFTER 17 YEARS, A final view from my flat in the West End --August 01/1992 to August 01/2009
A final view of a waitress from the Sylvia Hotel... on August 02/09
AUGUST 10th, 2009 ... I GO TO FORT LANGLEY with and courtesy of KEITH
ROBERTSON.. a FELLOW PENTAX USER :D ....... HERE ARE SOME SHOTS WITH MY DA12-24 & K200D
Keith and his disdain for me shooting everything in Continuous
Leaving lunch ... THANKS KEITH...Keith..wait for me..... and waitress waiting for

Answer: Naughty Girls of Langley
The Barber Shoppe owned and operated by the man known as Jack the Clipper
Bob in his organic and ultra-healthy food emporium in the tiny village of Fort Langley, BC .... too good and too healthy ....I wouldn't last long
Cheers and stay tuned for my next exciting chapter ......K200 & 50-135:O
AS PROMISED....... MY 50-135/2.8 AND MY K200D
An old camera, circa 1915, at (one of) the Fort Langley antique shops
for those of you like me who are having trouble reading the little sign in the
first picture of this post
One of the guides at the Fort Langley ......
Keith, a lifelong Langley, albeit not Fort Langley, resident discussing the history
of Fort Langely with the guide
Other folks, from Saskatchewan, who were visiting Fort Langley .....
After a lot of Forting .............. What better thing to do ..than doing some
Beatnik dining ..... and, the weird thing is, Keith has a cool stick on Goateeee
and, truth be told, it was a cool dining spot and, sadly, we're were only ones of
hepcat age
Cheers and stay turned for the next and last chapter ......... calm down people..quit the tears ........ the K7 and DA 300 in Fort Langley
THE K7 AND DA*300/4 --*** COURTESY OF MY PENTAX SALES REP***
Start off with a shot of a kid looking through the window of a cafe where Keith
and I settled in a coffee .......and it wasn't a Starbucks ...matter of fact,
I didn't even see a Starbucks anywhere near quaint Fort Langley ..but, before
I digress to far:
Keith looking at something in the Fort Langley Museum ....hence the sepia tone attempt
Approaching the actual "fort" of Fort Langley ...also, the bars on the window
were the closest I got to shooting my usual crime and corruption stuff
One of the guides of the fort ... a young Morrocan lady who came to Vancouver for
a holiday and her brother brought her to Fort Langley and ... BOOM that was it,
she went back finished university and back to Canada, BC and (Fort) Langley
The next two(2) pics are of family of tourists trying there hand at "panning for
gold" at the makeshift 'gold rush' portion of the fort ... I didn't wait to see if
they got any gold....... but, I daresay, the youngest of the family -- the young
lad nearest the camera -- was the most cynical of the family but his sister and
Dad were much more engrossed
Inside the Big House and, no, not the gaol but the house of the Head Cheese
of Fort Langley and he had a nifty gun hanging around and had to use flash to
keep it steady .............. not bad flash exposure
From Guns to Girls and the waitress who served Keith and I at the Beatniks Bistro and even lived to survive ..
After lunch -- THANKS KEITH -- we decided to go for a little wander around town
as the rain had pretty much stopped to a light intermittent drizzle and went
down to the river and liked this shot of the a few boats ...which are, according to
Keith, are becoming as rare as the fish I saw jump out of the water -- I missed him
but I did get the splash
A view aross the river which shows what kind of day it was:
As we were walking back, from the river, we ran into lady -- a friend of Keiths -- who
is an avid kayaker/rower as she wandered down the railway tracks with her paddle...
Whilst wandering around Fort Langley village we came across the cemetary and thought I would end this little sojourn with a little homage to those who laid
down their lives in order that the following generations could enjoy little places
like Fort Langley
heers and blast away with comments ....be they positive or negative ...all I ask for is some qualifying as to why you think the pics are good or bad ....Cheers, Jack

I wouldnt really know who the photog Tania was talking about the interview.. :-) I do agree with you on Annie Leibovitz.. never been a big fan of hers.
Hi Valentine,
I believe that, young Tania, might divulge the photog she mentioned in her interview .... although I have a sneaking suspicion that I don't think she would want to make it public ...unless the "photog in question" was OK with it :)
Cheers,
Jack
