origami herons

origami artist joseph wu made some life size origami herons for the summer live festival last weekend in stanley park. he was looking for someone to photograph the installation process, so i swung by and snapped away. his work is extremely impressive. i've previously briefly blogged about him here.
unfortunately it was raining. a lot.
as it usually goes, it stopped raining after i left.

origami herons were put up at brockton oval in stanley park

adding finishing touches to the herons

there was a total of 11 origami herons

volunteers helped out by attaching the strings to the birds

vancouver rain

yes, its july. however i live in vancouver. vancouver likes it's rain. i don't mind rain. but i do kind of have an issue with it when it comes drizzling from the sky every few days throughout the months of june-august. it's just not cool.
yesterday i went to stanely park to photograph some life-size origami herons by joseph wu. he made them for the summer live festival happening this weekend, if you get a chance to go check it out! joseph even has a little tent where he'll be teaching origami throughout the afternoon.
photos of the herons will be up on the blog after the weekend!
here's a few cloudy shots of my walk back.
can't help but love this city despite the rain.

i like signs 

wicked texture

i have this weird habit of including my footwear in my photographs

beautifully cloudy city
