SAN FRANCISCO, USA. (January 2005). In a change of pace, I'm reaching back into the archives and the days of film for this spot.

BILBAO, SPAIN. (July 2008). Mosaic-tile street art of Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde of Pac-Man fame ... in this shot, I like to think of the city tram as Pac-Man. The mosaic was created and installed by Invader, a Parisian-based street artist whose works have now quietly appeared in over 35 cities spanning the globe and garnered quite a cult following.

SASKATOON, CANADA. (January 2009).

SASKATOON, CANADA. (January 2009). A snowy crosswalk in the midst of a deep-freeze, western Canadian winter.
