I was driving in Langford yesterday with my family, when my wife all of a sudden exclaimed “That’s your photo!  On the back of that bus!”  I just caught a glimpse of it as the bus turned, but enough to recognize it. It was one of the photos from my school portfolio.

When I was shooting my portfolio, which was all food, one of the restaurants I shot at was Nautical Nellies in downtown Victoria.  When we came there, they conjured up eight different courses, one of which was a delicious looking lobster and steak.  And that was the photo that my wife saw on the bus yesterday.

The lobster and steak image I used in my portfolio.

So naturally I went bus hunting this morning, before heading to a meeting with former classmate Devin Milner.  And while driving down Douglas Street, I caught sight of my photo on a bus.  It wasn’t too hard keeping up with the bus, and it finally came to a halt on Humboldt Street, where it seemed to wait patiently while I snapped a few photos.

And here it is, in all its glory, my first bus image. Some of my images are already on Nautical Nellies’ website, but seeing one on a bus was a different kind of fun.
