The mural, I Was a Teenage Skateboarder in the '90s is at Peter Sullivan Skatepark in West Vancouver, which is a rebuild of the Ambleside Skatepark that opened in 1996.
Capture Photography Festival is celebrating its 5th year and has grown from about 50 exhibitions to over 200 events, according to festival program manager Kate Henderson.
She said in recent years she's seeing a move away from traditional photography, traditional prints, towards artists that are redefining photography and bringing it into a performative, contemporary realm.
The festival runs until April 30 and more details can be found on the website.
