Comments on: Vancouver Special by Charles Demers http://vancouverisawesome.com/2010/01/25/vancouver-special-by-charles-demers/ Vancouver Is Awesome Sun, 12 Feb 2012 22:54:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Gary http://vancouverisawesome.com/2010/01/25/vancouver-special-by-charles-demers/comment-page-1/#comment-82624 Gary Mon, 25 Jan 2010 19:47:33 +0000 http://vancouverisawesome.com/?p=33051#comment-82624 Those stunning photos were a contribution of Emmanuel Buenviaje (http://www.flickr.com/people/emmanuel_buenviaje/) a friend of mine from Flickr whom I've had the pleasure of meeting at the Flickn' Awesome Fundraiser, of all places. Thought I would give him a plug here. And I just picked up my copy of City of Glass again (thanks Bob for bringing it up a few weeks ago). I'll have to pick up 'Vancouver Special'; there is always room on my bookshelf for another made-in-Vancouver-for-Vancouver books. (I wish I could figure out how to have an icon beside my name) Those stunning photos were a contribution of Emmanuel Buenviaje (http://www.flickr.com/people/emmanuel_buenviaje/) a friend of mine from Flickr whom I’ve had the pleasure of meeting at the Flickn’ Awesome Fundraiser, of all places.

It is far more worthy of such praise. I suspect Charles was being polite, but it's no contest - the former is made for those who are just visiting, never coming back and want a postcard book for souvenir. V.S. is written for locals and folk interested in staying, learning and contributing to this community. Fantastic writing, very insightful & the B/W images throughout are stunning.
