“GDub” is a menace with a camera. Back in the 90s I had a short lived film/video production company. The main cameras on hand were a Canon L1 (HI8) and a CP16R (16mm film). Affordable digital cameras were a long way off. At the time video editing gear was evolving rapidly, but was very expensive. 16mm film was very cool, but prohibitively expensive. Unfortunately, the “expensive” part became a survival issue. The fledgling explosion of the WWW turned out to be a much better avenue for earning a living, so my love of capturing images got put on the back burner. Fast forward… In April 2010, I jumped into digital and bought a Canon G11 with the intention of getting re-acquainted with photography. Daily “run and gun” shots ensued along the commute route. In August 2010, a Canon T2i w/Canon EF-S 15-85mm IS USM was added to the mix–the GW Images blog was launched at about the same time.
For the day job, I am a programmer/web developer for Communication Arts magazine. I moonlight as the guitarist with The Mad Maggies, a rowdy folk fusion band fronted by my wife Maggie. “GDub” is my “stage” name.

Your Mt. Robson shot is special.
I also liked the chartreuse hat against the like-coloured cinderblock shop Maggie photo.
The “Wrong Way” sign caught my interest there as well. My wife wears just such an embroidered message in the back of many of her bloomers, and sometimes I try to ignore (all) the signs! ;+)
Enjoy! – ed
