Play-date,

the last play date of 2014. decided to jump on the band wagon with the wifey to check out this play-date thingy. with all the previous business trips, i indeed must act like a dad during my vacation.

2014年、最後のプレイデート。嫁さんについて行ってプレイデートとはなんぞや、を体験。出張もかなり多かったからこういった連休の時ぐらいパパらしくせねば。

3 families including us, plus one more family with a total of 9 kids. result, its tiresome but it was definitely a good way to interact with the kids. not to mention i had a major back pain afterwards but… lol

うちいれて全部で3家族だったところ別家族も合流で子供の合計9人。 結果、めっちゃ疲れましたが子供達とたくさん遊びました。帰りの腰痛が無ければ…笑

found a master of tree-climing.

木登り名人を発見。

don’t let go you hand little one.

手離すなよおチビちゃん。

of course she got arse-bumped after the first push. no pain no gain my dear.

この後はもちろんケツでゴーンされたけどね。痛み無くしては何も覚えませんぜ娘よ。

i was surprised to see by how much the two girls have grown up to. on the other hand, i was surprised of how old i was getting. also it was an great occasion to dust off the 1D MkIII.

娘達を見てて成長したんだな〜とちょっとビックリ。逆に、自分の老いにガッカリ。それと1D MkIIIの埃飛ばすのにはうってつけだった。

thanks for the invite wifey.

誘ってくれて有り難う嫁ハン。

 

Random Leica M8 Shots,

 

project coming soon with this mofo right here.

Underwood Family Farms,

swung by at the Underwood Family Farms today. something summer-ish to do with the fams. its a LOT cheaper then visiting Lego Land or Disneyland or whatever. man they are like $100 per admission? geesh. i rather save up for my camera stuffs lol hence the choice. it was a good bang for the buck with fruit hunting (or harvesting), pony riding and goat brushings. a lot more interactive and practical. i just hate standing in the line for 40min+ and the ride finishing in 2 seconds. and the price for the beer…

pony riding. they had a horse riding place next door. maybe we should visit there next time!

and the cow train. that fitment doe… LOL

c’mon we came to pick up fruits and not watch you guys park-ing.

blackberries hunting. the little one was bored i guess. she kept running back and forth (yea i was a guard dog looking after my wife’s bags and stuff).

dude Chisen… move outta the way lol

we’ll be back again little goat.

Watermelon Smash,

長女の幼稚園でwatermelon smashなる催し物が。water melon smashて（笑。間違ってはいないけど正しいとも言い難いこの微妙なライン。文化の違いがある中の直訳は怖いですねw。

まさかの大役。

そしてまさかの侍女様が参加（笑。大人しく座ってなはれ。

はーい！！と率先して手を上げる長女様。ん〜学校と家の中でこうも違うとは（汗。クラスでは実はまとめ役で結構人気者らしい。

そして待ちに待ったwatermelon smash！！日本の盆休みに合わせて木、金と有給とって良かったな〜

Discreet Moments in Streets, Downtown Vancouver

had some spare time today so decided to take a walk around downtown Vancouver. of course with my little buddy in hand. BUT, it was raining unfortunately.

今日はちょっと時間に余裕があったからバンクーバーのダウンタウンをうろついてみた。もちろん相棒片手に。でも残念ながら雨っつーね。

no finder with the Leica is difficult…

ライカをファインダー覗かないで使うのはかなり手強い…

wish this was tacked on focus… lol

これピント合ってて欲しかった…笑

i need to know my distance better.

もっと自分の距離わからないと駄目だな。

 

Day One at New Westminster, British Columbia

pretty dope view from Inn at the Quay in New Westminster, British Columbia.

中々の眺め＠ニューウェストミンスターBCのInn at the Quay。

let’s take a quick walk around the block.

ちょっとそこら辺をプラり。

it’s a business trip but mind as well take advantage on my photograph stuff as well.

出張とは言え、せっかくなんだから写真関係の事もやっておこう。

will be in Hope, BC from Wednesday.

水曜日からホープBC行きです。
