I ADORE the fact that one of the comments I got for these shots on Flickr was

“Oh Manda, this is something right out of the first few seasons of the X-files”

That comment gave me the biggest grin because I totally love that I’m living in the land of Mulder and Scully. If I only I lived here while they were shooting. I would have been such a groupie, trying to get a glimpse of dreamy Duchovny.

Vancouver certainly is a filming happy town. I notice the little fluoro coloured signs pointing Movie crews in the direction of the set all over the place. I even made Sean follow one the other day down near Jericho Beach. Sure enough, a film crew were setting up outside this gorgeous house which I concluded must have been an outside set for a scene from Fringe. We are all experts in these matters, right?  I’m quite fascinated by the whole thing because of the lighting and camera set ups, not because I may catch a glimpse of a Twilight starlet.

As you can see from my photographs, the scenery and weather here certainly make for some interesting locations. These were taken along some farmland roads, one morning while the fog was still laying low in the valley. It was quite breath taking and inspired me to shoot scenes I normally wouldn’t. That’s one thing I love about photography…your ideas and inspirations change so rapidly and it allows you to grow and change. Shooting a landscape has never really interested me, but a moment like this, I couldn’t really pass up.
