About
For the past few years, I’ve carried a small film camera with me. Often, I walk downtown to and from work, running errands or just to get out of the house. I had no preconceived ideas about it, when it started.
Over time, I started noticing all these odd moments were being captured, and I came to look at this distinct place in a much different way.
I often call this town “Planet Brandon” and this is my way to show that, and to remember.
Basic, simple street photography – it’s what happens when anyone just stops and looks around them.
I’ll be checking in. Great site! Love it!

Great shots so far. Can’t wait to see how the project unfolds. Keep pressing on.

I like your street photographs, some of them are very moving. Well done. I’ll keep watching your site! Cheers…. Phil Rice
I love the candid photography style. I would love to feature some of your photographs on my website, which is to help Chinese international students acculturate to Vancouver while going to school here.
Take a look and let me know.
Thanks!

Just wondering what that small film camera is, specifically….
Hi Mike
I started out with a Nikon FM2 (which I still use when the weather turns really cold) but for the past few years have used a Leica M6. I’m really into the small and very unobtrusive nature of a rangefinder.
It really is true, from my observation, that a small quiet camera has a very noticeable effect on how people interact with you, when doing street photography.
Wow! Absolutly marvelous what you have done here. It’s a never ending story. So many people, so many characters and someone who is able to capture it. I’m impressed.

Thanks very much. I like the idea of an ongoing story – I never started it with a traditional start-middle-end narrative in mind, and it seems to make sense to just keep on flowing.
