Human Canvas

Some of you may know that I am on the executive team of our PhotoClub Vancouver.  It is a position that I take seriously, and try to lead by example.  So, when our monthly challenge was presented as being 'human canvas', my mind went into overdrive as to what it was that I could do for my challenge image!  Well, low and behold, I was presented my muse on a silver platter when I went for a night out in Steveston a couple of weeks ago.  I did three things I don't ever do.  1. Saddle up to the bar.....usually I sit at a table off in the corner so that I can people watch.  This one evening, I was feeling very social (took that one from my husband's handbook).  2. Hand my business card to the bartender telling him I was interested in photographing during my next scheduled photoshoot.  3. Not blush or get all giddy!  You see, Vince, the bartender at the Blue Canoe is many things.  He is an amazing bartender and can whip up a dynamite martini (no worries, I only had two)!!  He has an amazing personality (his girlfriend is one really lucky woman).....he has a way of making everyone around him feel super comfortable and welcomed!  So, that is how I came across Vince!  Not a single regret.  Can't wait for the next time I see him......1. Anticipating his fantastic martini making skills.  2.  Handing off his stunning images.  3.  Being in the company of someone I now feel I can call a friend!
