Shooting decayNot having taken many photos over the past six months, I’ve recently decided that I want to have another crack at it; especially since I put a bit of money into it. I recently managed to reset my camera’s counter, which is a good start, but one needs to build up momentum rather than basking in such small successes.

So, on an extremely chilly Saturday morning, Trav and I met up on the corner of Victoria and Church Streets in Abbotsford. We wandered the suburb on what turned a very wet and cold morning — the temperature hovered around twelve degrees as we explored.

After an hour-and-a-half and easily over a hundred shots, we were cold and hungry. We stopped at a local Pho restaurant and each had a bowl of beef and chicken Pho for breakfast. Sure, beef and chicken might not sound like a normal breakfast, but the place filled quite fast as we ate and besides, we played it safe and didn’t order the soup with either brisket, tripe, fat, tendon or cartilage.

A tiny, cute old lady who must have been easily over seventy placed a small jar of what turned out to be extremely hot chillies on our table. The place wasn’t the cleanest or most glamorous place to eat, but the food was decent, cheap, hot and made for a good place to rest after a morning of shooting.

You can see the shots taken over at Flickr. I’ll be uploading them over the next few days.
