ADEX 2006 Travel Specials
FiNS Online has posted the special "Fly & Dive" travel packages offered by Nemo Travel during ADEX last weekend. The reduced local pricing was originally restricted to ADEX members for booking during the expo, but we convinced Nemo Travel and FiNS to extend them to Wetpixel members for an additional week.
Specials include deals to Indonesia, Sabah, PNG, Palau, Australia, the Philippines, and more. Rates are listed in Singapore Dollars (1 USD = approx 1.6 SGD), and are quite good. If you're planning a trip to the Asia Pacific, you should definitely check out these deals! You must contact Nemo Travel by April 30th in order to get the discounted fares. Tell Nemo you were referred by Wetpixel.
ADEX 2006 Asia Dive Expo Report
ADEX is tiny compared to shows in the United States and Europe, and I was told beforehand by more than one person to "not expect much." But what I discovered when I arrived was a tight network of dive operators, tourism representatives, manufacturers, distributors, publishers, editors, and photographers working together to further the industry as a whole (for the most part). Three days hardly seemed like enough time to meet and befriend all of the people I wanted to see, and evenings were spent out dining and hanging out at bars, often into the early hours of the morning…
Amphibico underwater housing for Sony HDR-HC3
Wagsy has posted information about the upcoming Amphibico underwater housing for the new Sony HDR-HC3 HDV camcorder. The housing looks absolutely tiny, and comes with a 70° lens, with 80° and 120° lenses available. The information pages are dated end of May, 2006, but we're not sure yet when the housing will actually ship.
Eric Cheng, newbie videographer
Am I allowed to toot my own horn?
Stephen Frink interviewed me last month after I posted the tiger shark videos online (which you should obviously go check out RIGHT NOW); the interview has been posted as a part of Scuba Diving's 2006 PMA report. As part of the interview, I updated the video page to include full-resolution screen grabs from the 1080i footage, which you can download if you are interested.
21 Questions with Wyland
Wyland: to most the name is synonymous with aquatic paintings. However, a one dimensional man he is not. Wyland Foundation, The Cousteau Society, Wyland Ocean Challenge, the Scripps Institute; these are a few of the environmental foundations and charities he is involved with. From humble beginnings as a struggling painter to the world renowned artist he is today, Wyland strives to spread the message of environmental awareness.
Sea & Sea announces DX-D200 and DX-5D Housings
Sea & Sea has announced the DX-D200 underwater housing for the Nikon D200 digital SLR and the DX-5D housing for the Canon 5D. Both housings feature a newly-designed shutter lever, which is large and is supposed to indicate when it's pressed halfway. The AE/AF lock lever is nicely positioned so it can be pushed while still holding on to the grip.
A Low Tech Solution for a High-Tech Problem
Ever since I migrated to Canon from Nikon I have had a problem with one particular lens. My 17-40 zoom is one of my most versatile focal lengths, but it has a series of concentric circles around the front of the lens as part of the design. For a topside shooter, no worries. But for an underwater photographer with a dome port, it is the four rings closest to the lens that causes the issue. The paint is kind of shiny, and it reflects against the inside of the dome when pointing into the sun. I was spending so much time Photoshop correcting the reflections, I figured there HAD to be a better way…
An Intimate Look at the Florida Manatee
On Xmas Eve I posted a series called "Peace on Earth and Goodwill Toward Manatees". Since then I've had the good fortune to encounter the wonderful creatures, again numerous times. It has been a good year for observing manatee just north of where I live, in Crystal River, Florida. Lots of short "cold snaps" have brought record numbers of manatee in to the springs of Crystal River.
Unfortunately my joy of seeing so many manatee and optimism about their future was tempered by two headlines in our two major newspapers last Saturday, January 21st…

Dark Shadows (2012)
Critics Consensus: The visuals are top notch but Tim Burton never finds a consistent rhythm, mixing campy jokes and gothic spookiness with less success than other Johnny Depp collaborations.

Movie Info
Barnabas (Johnny Depp) has the world at his feet-or at least the town of Collinsport, Maine. The master of Collinwood Manor, Barnabas is rich, powerful and an inveterate playboy...until he makes the grave mistake of breaking the heart of Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green). A witch, in every sense of the word, Angelique dooms him to a fate worse than death: turning him into a vampire, and then burying him alive. Two centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed from his tomb and emerges into the very changed world of 1972. He returns to Collinwood Manor to find that his once-grand estate has fallen into ruin. The dysfunctional remnants of the Collins family have fared little better, each harboring their own dark secrets. -- (C) Warner Bros. … More

Critic Reviews for Dark Shadows
All Critics (231) | Top Critics (48) | Fresh (86) | Rotten (145) | DVD (3)
The only reason to see Dark Shadows is to discover how dire and pointless-how flat-out dreadful-a movie can be even when it has Tim Burton, Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Helena Bonham Carter attached to its flimsy pretext.
This is not so much a coherent movie as it is a long, expensive joke in search of a purpose.
Mostly Dark Shadows is silly when we're trained to expect slightly richer fun from Burton and Depp.
Fans of Depp's past collusions with Burton will find their rewards along the way. But there's a perfunctory vibe to the goings on, a weariness amid the weirdness.
Clearly, they made the movie they wanted to make. It's just not the movie this "Dark Shadows" fan hoped to see.
Dark Shadows' only meaningful relationship is between Depp and his audience. He's a persona now, no longer an actor.
Johnny Depp once again takes a role where he allows the make up and prosthetics to do the acting for him...
The nadir of Burton's career and is likely going to be his biggest flop, a film that's not a comedy, not a drama, not a horror film, and not a fantasy.
There's more than enough here for us older folks - and some younger ones, too - to have us exclaiming, Fangs for the memories.
Burton really needed to lean his horror-comedy more toward horror. Instead, it's reminiscent at times of Love at First Bite and the feature film remakes of The Addams Family and The Brady Bunch.
It turns into a bit of a mess towards the finish line, but at least it's a fun mess, and if you're looking to Tim Burton for narrative tidiness you must be thinking of another Tim Burton.
Dark Shadows should have been a return-to-form for director Tim Burton, but with a bloated budget and way too much room to play, Burton delivers yet another wasted effort.
Made for an audience of no one, Dark Shadows is a mess of campy horror, "fish out of coffin" comedy, and gothic melodrama.
Not a colossal failure but an indicator that Burton and Depp could stand to step outside their collective me + you = cinematic magic mindsets.
...following Graeme-Smith's lead, Burton has made, quite possibly, the worst film of his 30-year career.
Dark Shadows is never short on stunning backdrops and impressive cinematographic techniques. It looks a treat. But with Dark Shadows, like Depp himself, you can only put so much make-up on an ageing face and sell it as fresh.
It's just sort of a star vehicle for Johnny Depp, with everyone and everything else a secondary consideration at best.
It had so much potential, but given the result, it should have stayed in the shadows.
Dark Shadows really is just a mixed bag of chuckles and drama that never really gets the balance quite right.
While "Dark Shadows" has many wonderful elements, it is set up to become a new franchise for Warner Bros, but it just doesn't quite have that eternal bite.
Captures the grand sweep and often ridiculous theatricality of both soap operas and gothic romance.
There's much more bloody potential here for dark comedy (and shaded emotions) than we're lightly spattered with . . . offers no zany flourishes, dashing touches or striking shots.
In yet another over-designed cinematic letdown, director Tim Burton (Alice in Wonderland; Sweeney Todd) weaves a choppy comic tale of resurrected ghouls set in the early 1970s.
Burton can still deliver a great visual hook and whimsical comedy. But he seems caught between his new laziness and his old genuine excitement about filmmaking.
Audience Reviews for Dark Shadows
May work well for kids, I suppose. The execution is terrible; a handful of one-liners can't hold a film together. There are a few emotional scenes, but they are devoid of emotions!!More
Super Reviewer
The visuals; direction, costume, make-up, set etc are second to none and as great as you'd expect from Tim Burton, everything else is underwhelming. Tim Burton used to be a name you could depend on but he now has more disappointing films in his portfolio than he has great ones. It's not all bad, there are a few really nice scenes but I just expected more, although I'm not so sure why anymore.More
Super Reviewer
"Dark Shadows" is not top shelf Burton. It's a tad slow and overlong; and far from the director's most memorable efforts... but it's inventive, fun, and has just the right amount of humor and visual flair to remain interesting the whole way through. It's (schlocky) fluff to be sure, but it's entertaining, likable fluff that I enjoyed.More
Super Reviewer
Barnabas Collins is a rich and powerful 18th Century aristocrat who rules over the manor and town named after him and his family. It's a good life, until he makes the mistake of spurning his mistress Angelique who, as it turns out, is a witch. She turns him into a vampire then buries him alive.
Cut to 1972. Barnabas is unearthed. Upon waking, he discovers that his family's empire and legacy are in ruins, and his remaining descendants are few in number and very dysfunctional. He finds himself determined to return the manor and empire to their former glory, fix his family, and break the curse. Only problem is, (not counting being a fish out of water) Angelique is still alive, and has taken control over the town and the Collins's business empire.
Ya know, I really liked this movie better when it was known as Blacula. Seriously. I mean, I know it's based on a cult melodramatic gothic TV soap opera, but it really feels like Blacula but with white people. The concept did, and still kinda does, have potential, but this film is instead a continuation of Burton stuck in a rut, and seemingly unable to break free from the web of failing to grow and change.
It's billed as a horror comedy, but it's not scary, and the humor is more miss than hit. This is a real mixed bag. The tone is all over the place, and the film has a hard time finding its identity, and instead is a big stew of confusion and stuff strung together. And some of it, like the stuff with Chloe, really stands out in a bad way.
It's more of the same, and yeah, it really is wearing thin with me. There's a good cast, but they're primarily familiar faces, and most of them seem to be honing it in. Green does admittedly do a good job, but I think she's too good for this movie. Depp is Depp, and, though Burton needs a new muse, it is nice seeing Carter make somewhat of a return to Marla Singer territory.
The technical stuff is what'd you expect, but many of the effects are probably too cheesy for their own good. The wooden snake is cool though. Elfman's score is really good, but the other music is a bit of an issue. Yeah, there's some good needle drops, but most of them are things we've heard way too many times before, are on the nose, and expected. I'd have been far happier had they included more deep cuts and obscure stuff instead of things that are played out.
All in all, I wanted to like this movie, but it's hard. Surprisingly, while this is a bad movie, it's still somehow watchable and mildly entertaining. Ultimately though, it's typical crap, which is sad given how great Burton and his cohorts used to be.

12 Secrets to Selling More Books at Events
So you got a book event, great! Now you want to maximize it, right? You've heard your writing buddies (or perhaps read online) about the lack of attendance at signings so figuring out how to maximize the event, regardless of the numbers might be tricky. While I spend a lot of time addressing online marketing, the offline component is one you shouldn't overlook and if book events are where you want to focus, then bringing in some ideas to help you sell more books is something you should consider.
Some years back when I was promoting The Cliffhanger I ended up at a book signing in the driving rain, I mean it was pouring and the store was all but empty. It was amazing I sold even one book, let alone seven. While not a big number, the copies were all sold to people who were seeking refuge in the store from the rain and not there for my event. This signing taught me a lot about events and connecting with consumers in stores. If you have an event coming up, consider these ideas before you head out:
1. Marketing: First and foremost is the marketing of your event. But I'm not talking about the marketing you do in the media (though that is great too) I'm speaking of in-store marketing, this is what most folks seem to overlook. This is where you supply things to the store to help them market your event. Because the first phase of a successful event is driving people to it, here are a few thoughts.
- Do bag stuffers. You can easily do this in your favorite computer program, do two up on a page, meaning that you use one 8 1/2 by 11 sheet of paper to do two fliers. You'll want to ask the store first if they mind that you provide this, most stores or event venues don't.
- Bookmarks: While most in the industry see these as passé, people still love them. You can do bookmarks and bag stuffers (or staple them to the flier) or you can do custom bookmarks with the date and time of your event. Nowadays it's pretty easy to get these done cheaply. Keep in mind that if you are having the event in a mall or other type of shopping area, you might be able to drop the bookmarks (or bag stuffers) off at the nearby stores to see if they'll help promote the event.
2. Book signings are boring: Regardless of where you do the event, plan to do a talk instead of a signing. People are drawn into a discussion and are often turned off by an author just sitting at a table. Marketing is about message and movement so stand up and speak. If speaking in public is intimidating to you, go to Toastmasters or some other local networking/speaking group and see what you can learn.
3. Unique places: If you want to get more attention for your event, consider doing events in unique places. We've done them in video stores, electronics stores, gyms, even restaurants (on slow nights), doing outside-the-bookstore events is a great way to gain more interest for your talk. Why? Because you aren't competing with everyone else at the bookstore for your crowd. When you do an event at a locale that doesn't normally do events, you'll gather more people just because it's considered "unique."
4. Show up early and talk it up: OK so let's say you're in the store and there are a ton of people in there shopping (a book event dream, yes?) I suggest that you take your extra bag stuffers or custom bookmarks and just hand them to the people in the store. Let them know you are doing an event at such and such time and you'd love it if they can sit in. You'll be surprised how many new people you might pull in this way.
5. Customize: Regardless of what your talk is about, poll the audience first to see a) what brought them there, or b) what they hope to learn if your talk is educational. I suggest this because the more you can customize your discussion, the more likely you are to sell a book. If you can solve problems (and this is often done during the Q&A) all the better. You'll look like the answer machine you are and readers love that. If you have the answers they'll want to buy from you. I promise.
6. Make friends: Get to know the bookstore people, but not just on the day of the event. Go in prior and make friends, tell them who you are and maybe even hand them your flier or bookmark (or a stack if you can). Often stores have Information Centers; see if you can leave some fliers there instead of just at the register. Getting to know the people who are selling the book is a great way to help gather more people into your event. If your event isn't in a bookstore but attached to a shopping area or mall, go around to the stores (and perhaps you did this when you passed out the fliers) and let them know you have an event and what can you do to help them promote it. If you can rally the troops to help you market your talk, you could triple the numbers of people at your event. No kidding.
7. Take names: I always, always recommend that you get names and (email) addresses from the folks who attended. Sign them up for your mailing list is a great way to stay in touch with them and stay on your reader's radar screen. If you have a giveaway or drawing, great! This will help you to collect names. If you don't, offer them a freebie or ebook after the event. Often if I'm doing a PowerPoint presentation I will put together a set of them (delivered in PDF) after the event. Attendees need to sign up to get them and then once they do, I include them in our newsletter list which helps me to stay on their radar screen.
8. Pricing: Make sure your book is easy to buy. If you are doing this outside of a bookstore this is easy to do and will help your sales. I find that a rounded number like $10 or $20 makes for a quick and easy sale. If you can round up or down without adding or losing too much to the price, by all means do it.
9. Book pairing: One way you might be able to round up is by pairing your book with a freebie. When I paired Red Hot Internet Publicity with a second, but smaller, marketing book I took the awkward pricing of $18.95, bumped it up to $20 (so 2 books for $20) and quadrupled my sales after an event. Now the pairing doesn't have to be a book, it can be a special report or even an ebook that you send to them after the event.
10. Product and placement: As you're doing your talk (especially if it's in a non-bookstore venue) make sure that you have a copy of the book propped up in front of you so event visitors see it the entire time you are speaking. Hold up the book when appropriate and use it as an example when you can. This will help to direct the consumer's eye to the book – and making eye contact with the product is a good way to make sure it stays on their radar screen throughout your talk. When I do a speaking gig at an event that allows me to sell books in the room, I will sell four times more than I would if the attendees have to go somewhere else to buy it so make the buy easy. If you can, make sure your books are for sale in the room.
11. Ease of purchase: Aside from pricing, if you're doing your own checkout make sure that you have many ways consumers can buy your book. I take credit cards at the event, checks and cash. Don't limit yourself as to what you can take or you will limit your sales.
12. . Post event wrap up: So the event is over, what now? Well, if you got attendees to sign up for your newsletter (you did do that, right?) and now it's time to send a thank you note for attending and remind them (if they missed the chance at the event) to buy a copy of your book at the "special event price."
Speaking and book events are great ways to build your platform, but if you aren't selling books there's little point in doing them. For many of us, our book is our business card and thus, if we can sell our "business card" we can keep consumers in our funnel. If your book isn't your business card you still want readers, right? So the marketing both post and during an event is crucial to building your readership. While it's easy to say that events sell books, they often don't. I find that if you don't "work it" you often will find your time wasted. Seek the opportunities when they are made available to you and then maximize them when they are, you'll be glad you did!

October 2, 2014
Did you know that Amazon is actually two websites? Well, it's probably more than that, but for books, it's two sites: one for the eBook and one for print. The thing is, it's not evident that this is the case. Why does it matter? When you're picking a category on Amazon it's important to know that you have more than a few options.
First, let me take you through the whole idea behind the Amazon category selection.
Amazon allows you up to two categories per book, so two broad categories. But you don't want broad, you want narrow. For example, for my book: How to Sell Books by the Truckload on Amazon, I picked a narrow niche within the "business/marketing" category. I picked "direct marketing," which was a subset of that broader genre and (at the time) it only had 41 other books in it which meant that it was an easy category to dominate. If you can dominate a category (meaning be number one) you can start to trigger the Amazon internal algorithm to get more book exposure.
In my classes on this topic, I've shared this link: http://www.amazon.com/-/b/?node=1000
Which takes you to this page:
The blue links take you to a dropdown menu which will help you delve into that category even deeper. Traditionally this has been the best way to find your narrow, niche, category. But now there's another way, and in a minute I'll show you why this really matters.
So, head on over to Amazon.com and on the search bar, highlight "Kindle Store" and click GO. Don't put anything in the search bar. What this does is it drops you to the eBook side of Amazon, so the other half of the Amazon book site. You'll see a page that pops up that looks similar to this:
Though, obviously the books will change depending on what's on their internal bestseller list.
From here, click Kindle eBooks on the left hand side. Now you can start doing searches based on your market/genre. But here's the surprising thing. Most authors don't use this method. How do I know this? Well, have a look. Let's say you're a business author and you have a book on business leadership. Here is the page you'll wind up on. Note the categories off to the left.
Now let's dig deeper. Let's say you have a book on business life. So anything related to health and business, business organization, even work-life-balance. Here is the page you'll see:
Now, take a closer look at the category "work life balance" … it only has 132 books in it. Is that possible? Yes, it is. The reason is that many publishers don't know to do a second category search this way so they're putting their books in overly crammed categories that seem to fit. Here's another thing. The categories you'll get doing this search look different than the ones you'll get using that other URL I shared so it's a good idea to do both searches.
Remember, you are allowed broad categories but you want a narrow subset of those categories. Like the Work/Life/Balance one that has few competing titles.
Also, remember if your book is fiction that themes are very active on Amazon now. We did a post on that a while back. See: http://www.amarketingexpert.com/big-changes-amazon-categories/

Your 10 Point Website Check Up
So you have a website, congratulations! Now let's make sure it's doing what it is supposed to be doing for you. Read: selling your book or product. While websites will differ in color, layout, and target audience, there are a few things that need to remain consistent. Let's take a look at them.
- Editing: Your website needs to be edited. There is no discussion on this topic at all. And don't self-edit. Hire someone to go through your site page by page and make sure you don't have any typos. Finding mistakes on your site is like finding typos on a resume. Doesn't bode too well, does it?
- Website Statistics: Do you know your site stats? Did you even know you can get them? Site statistics are part of every website design. If you don't have access to them, make sure you get this information. A good site stat service is Google Analytics, pretty comprehensive actually and easy to integrate into your site. You should know your traffic patterns and learn to read these reports (it's a lot easier than it sounds). This way you'll know what your site is doing and what it isn't.
- Media Room: Even if you have never had any TV or radio appearances, you should have a media room. The media room is a great place to list all of your accomplishments as it relates to the book. Also, a good place to put your bio, picture (both of you and the book cover), as well as media Q&A, and a host of other items (I'll cover the art and science of a good media room in an upcoming piece).
- Website Copy: Your website isn't a magazine, people don't read – they scan – so make sure your site isn't so crammed with text that it's not scannable. Ideally your home page should have no more than 200 to 250 words. Also, make sure you have a clear call to action. You want your visitors to do something on your site, yes? Make sure they know what that is, clearly and precisely.
- Store: Yes, you should have a place for people to buy on your site, even if it means sending them off to Amazon.com or somewhere else to make their purchase. One key factor though: don't make them hunt for it. Shorten the staircase. In other words, make it easy to find your stuff and then give them the quickest route to get there to purchase the item.
- Design: I have two major rules in life: you should never cut your own hair or design your own website. Period. End of story. Why? Because much like editing our own books, we're just too darned close to our message to be able to do it justice. Also, most of us are writers, not designers. Hire someone, invest the money, you'll be glad you did. When you're designing, also remember that your homepage should only do one thing. Your website can sell a lot of things, including any consulting or speaking services you offer, but your home page should be focused in on one major item. Surfers spend on average of 1/50th of a second on a website, if they have to stop and try and figure out what your site is about they will leave. I call it surf shock or analysis paralysis. Don't make them guess what your site is about or you will lose them and they most likely will not return for a second visit.
- Social content: Make sure that you have something "social" on your site, whether it's a blog, forum or even your very own social networking page. The easiest and best of these is a blog in my opinion.
- Update often: Search engines like sites that have a lot of fresh content, this will really help you with ranking in major search engines like Google. If you have a blog you should plan to update it twice weekly at least.
- Share and share alike: Make sure that your content is easy to share. If you don't have sharing widgets on your site (Upload to Facebook, Tweet This!, Digg, Delicious, etc.) then get your designer to add it to the site asap. Most blogging software comes with this all ready to go.
- Placement and remarketing: First off, make sure that you understand how people surf, meaning where their eyes go to when they land on a website. The first place is the upper left hand quadrant of a site, that's where your primary message should be placed. Then their eyes go to the center of your site. These two primary places are significant in conversion. You should have a clear message, and a clear call to action (whatever that action may be). I also recommend funneling your visitors into a mailing list. You can do this via a sign-up on your home page and then an ethical bribe to encourage them to sign up. What's an ethical bribe? It's something you give them (of value) to get something: you might give them an ebook, a checklist or a special report. Just make sure it's something your readers want.

Information about the Texas Conrad 30 and the J-1 Visa Waiver Program are in the Policy Manual. Also included in the manual is information on Federal Statutes, State Statutes, Department of State Health Services Rules, and the Department of State Applicant Check-list.
Reading and understanding both the Policy Manual and Responsibilities and Rights are a requirement for all employers and physicians.
The Policy Manual for the 2016 year cycle is not yet available. There may be significant changes to the shortage designation requirements. In accordance to Texas Administrative Code, the new policy manual will be published by May 1, 2015.
The proposed policy changes have been developed and can be accessed here. Public comments will be accepted until December 31, 2014 and will be carefully considered prior to the publication of the FY 2016 Policy Manual.

Another option for primary care physicians in Texas is the Department of Health and Human Services J-1 Waiver Program.
How do I find a J-1 visa waiver job in Texas?
» The first thing to keep in mind when looking for a qualified job opportunity is the Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA) and Medically Underserved Area (MUA) designation status.
» Not all HPSA's and MUA's meet the requirements for the Texas Conrad 30 program. » Contact our office to find out the eligibility status of specific HPSAs and MUA's. » Look for regions of the state that would suit your preference for climate, access to schools, recreation etc… » Once you have some idea which regions interest you and which counties are available, use trade publications, recruiters, and/or the "AHA Guide to the Health Care Field" published by the American Hospital Association to help locate opportunities in your specialty.
If you have any questions about the Conrad 30 program, please contact this office at (512) 776-7518, and ask for Clay Daniel or Connie Berry.

Citymaker Series: The City Expert
Citymakers is a new This City Life column featuring people who do great things for Vancouver or other cities - whether it is through their love of art, music, photography, public space, nature or any form of creative expression or city issue. They don't get a lot of recognition for what they do. And, they often do it in their spare time, for free or little money, off the side of their desk, mostly while working full-time, 9-5 jobs. But, that is not an issue to them. They pursue their art or passion because they love and care about what they are doing.
Rommy Ghaly is a Vancouver-based tech worker and photographer. In his free time, he photographs city life and offers funny observations about living in Vancouver. You find his photos in local magazines and at his website Vancouverish. We met through Tumblr.
Who are you?
I was born and raised in New York. After graduating from high school in 1996 (do the math), I never looked back. I've worked in tech (web and games) for most of my career and have been lucky enough to live all over the US, in Europe, and now in Canada. Hobbies include indulging in films at the Cinematheque, seeing friends' bands perform in the Downtown Eastside, and hitting up gallery exhibitions. In other words, hanging out at future condominiums. Outside of that I have a passion for film photography.
What motivates you to get involved in city life?
I've become a self-proclaimed expert at living in cities. I've lived in Stamford (Connecticut), Kansas City (Missouri), San Francisco, Stockholm, Berlin, and now Vancouver. Furthermore, I've finally come to terms with the fact that I'm a city person. I went through my outdoors phase in my 20s, but a couple years in Europe turned me into a city person. I love cities because I believe they represent mankind's highest level of societal evolution. Cities are the prime example of how human beings can take advantage of technological, social, and political systems to live peacefully and sustainably (hopefully), working together to advance the causes of mankind with a lower impact on the global environment.
Why Vancouver?
Vancouver would be better if____(fill in the blanks)
1) Paid as much attention to cultural growth as it did to municipal growth.
2) Made more decisions for the good of the city's future instead of trying to cater to short-sighted NIMBYs.
3) It were more effective in addressing the real issues in the Downtown Eastside vs. throwing money at short-term political solutions.
Favourite public space?
Great question. It's hard to pick just one but I'd have to pick Crab Park. And I would love to see more cultural special events there in the summer (theatre, music, etc.). I'd love to see more outdoors cultural events in general.
Must have Vancouver souvenir?
Favourite local hangout?
Don't make me pick one, Jillian. :) Right now I'm digging Alibi's beer selection, The Cobalt's diverse programming, Wildebeest's menu, and Revolver's coffee.
Local inspiration?
I'm hugely inspired by the East Van grassroots art movement. There are so many phenomenal people creating beautiful things in Vancouver in the face of unbelievable adversity (high cost of living and lack of culture funding and coverage). Those that are sticking around are clearly doing so because they love it. And I love supporting them for doing it.
Worst thing about Vancouver?
Of all the cities I've lived in, Vancouver (both municipally and publicly) has shown least support or demand for arts and culture. In Vancouver, physical and outdoor needs are met but not those of intellectual and artistic stimulation. A character of a city is ultimately a culmination of all these things.
Favourite Vancouver memory?
Citymakers is a column to profile people who positively contribute to the city (socially, artistically, environmentally, etc.) in their free time. Who else should be profiled here?
Shane Koyczan (poet), Savannah Olsen and Walter Manning (Old Faithful Shop owners), Hannah Epperson (musician - violinist), The Harpoonist and Axe Murderer (blues musicians), Randy Grskovic (artist), the owners of the Dunlevy Snackbar, Andrea Carlson and David Jackman (Harvest Community Market), whoever runs the Vancouver Farmers Markets.

"It is a common sight everywhere to see old things get replaced with new ones. It not only makes the place much more pleasant to the eyes physically, but it also benefits people in terms of providing amenities and advanced facilities.

"Now that winter is coming, it is good to have a solid plan to avoid longer electricity outages. I know that this is a constant issue, especially with energy storage, but I have seen more and more countries adapting to solar energy without having to go thru energy storage. I just hope to have a more solid and concrete plan on this laid out in the future. "
