I live in Chilliwack British Columbia. In January 2013, I found a old 35 year old Canon AL-1 camera and fell in love taking pictures. Its one of my favorite pastimes and I do it every opportunity I get. A professional I am not.
This picture was taken at Lake Louise in early May by a friend of the family. I put it on Photoshop and made it look a bit off purposely. I wanted to focus on the snow and the mountains. Check out the links below for my photographs.
For this website I will be focusing on heritage homes in Chilliwack. I am always amazed at the beautiful heritage homes I see when I am driving around Chilliwack. In the last few years I have seen a lot of these homes and barns being torn down. The old saying is once gone its gone.
As a result I will attempt to photograph as many heritage homes that time permits me.
I would like to acknowledge the Chilliwack Museum who was able to produce a list of heritage homes and barns in a document dated to 1991. I will be referencing this document a lot for information on these homes. Unfortunitally many of these homes are now gone. Nevertheless this is a awesome document that I will reference throughout this project.
