Cycling from Burnaby to downtown Vancouver is a busy, urban trip. However, unlike my commute to Richmond, it doesn't require crossing any bridges. I used to make this trip almost every day when I worked at Multiactive Software; since being laid off there in January 2001, I take the route much less frequently. Each direction is about 15 km.

Photos were taken with a Konica disposable outdoor camera using C41 35 mm film, and processed and scanned by London Drugs. I wrangled the images with Apple's new iPhoto software and BBEdit. << Back to penmachine.com home \| < Other photo essays
