Big red mittens.

Don’t think The Bay have these ones in stock.

Back in Dec the VIA gang hit up The Dry Spot for a session. There is video but now, a little later (because of being on 35mm film), are some more pictures in the glory of B&W.

Adam Cristobal, age 20, is a student journalist on the Vancouver arts scene. He writes and edits for The Peak, Simon Fraser University’s student-run newspaper and became the Arts Editor in his second year at SFU. His writing has been featured in One Cool Word and SAD MAG. The daily work schedule he has straddles a busy student life at SFU as well as a variety of editorial responsibilities: he could be getting new volunteer writers started on their first article, interviewing a local artist for a piece, writing for the newspaper while writing papers for classes, designing the section’s spread for the upcoming issue, arranging upcoming projects with PR agents and writers, or be out on the street and in a Gastown alley, supervising a photoshoot. He often does all six at the same time.

The Proof

1. This is our whiteboard wall at The Peak office where we discuss what will be going into each section of the upcoming issue. Each editor gets a cutesy caricature of themselves, courtesy of me.
2. There is a lot of stuff around the office left by previous editors, and no one can really explain their existence or origin. There has always been a shack on the Arts desk, and I suspect that there always will be.

Even benches are art.

It is just amazing to see swings and tires put up by neighbors for all to enjoy. Maybe some of the Olympic athletes will have a chance to take a swing on some of them as they explore Vancouver.

This swing is somewhere around Cambie and 19th. It seems to get a good amount of use from the look of the grass below.
