Vancouver Is Awesome, and we are dedicated to everything that makes it that way.

If you want to read ugly, bad news about this beautiful city of ours, you’re going to have to look to traditional media and other blogs; V.I.A. promotes everything that makes our city awesome, from old to new and everything inbetween. We’re like the human interest piece on the news… only different.

THE PROOF: JEFF TOPHAM

POSTED November 10, 2009 BY Bob Kronbauer

“If you need a photographer with a keen eye that can show you something new in the everyday and convince people to speak so eloquently through his lens, and if you need a poet to tie a knot in your chest, and if you need some prose to make you laugh, cry, think and want to visit places, and if you want a TV producer with compassion, art and edge, or a rockstar to patiently teach you some guitar chords, and if you want someone who is fueled almost entirely by cheeseburgers and has lots of famous people’s autographs, you gotta meet Jeff.” – Cori Creed

The Questions

What neighborhood do you live in?
I live down by the pool at Kits Beach. I do not own a pug or drive a BMW. I do have a junky old Saab, though. Yeah, it’s a turbo.

What do you do and where?
I write, shoot, produce, strum, surf, drink, run, skate, sing, snack and nap anywhere I can, for anyone who’ll listen, read, pay, tolerate, heap praise, or join in.

What are you working on?
I’m working on being a better person, a documentary on my childhood in Liberia, a story on shark diving in South Africa, my relationship, a story on Morgan guitar #2000, my abs, a cure for psoriasis, and a bottle of Johnny Walker.

Where can we find your work?
In my mom’s bathroom, on CTV in February, in Westworld magazine, and at my own personal worldwide website.

Also, which websites would you like mentioned?
How about that of my musical hero, Mason Jennings?

    Jeff T. he has it all, except psoriasis. He’s a humanitarian and working on solving that problem by seeing if enough Johnny Walker can make it go away. Apparently, the answer is yes.great pics!
