Two Hundred and Fifty One #umbrellalostalone Look back in anger edition.Two Hundred and Fifty #umbrellalostalone Milestone mimicry edition . Been working towards shot #250 for 13 years now! Sometimes the umbrellas themselves seem to rain from the sky, other times it’s a drought out there and a snapped handle is all I see for months on end. The humble beginnings of this 35mm print series in 2005 evolved towards a mostly mobile, digital set of dead Vancouver umbrellas. There have been special appearances from my travels in Amsterdam, NYC, and exotic locales like Surrey but damn, Vancouver sure has the weather for it! The original series remains on Flickr (flickr.com/bhlubarber) where I post most of my photography and I’m not stopping here. Next goal - 365. Since I don’t repost or take submissions, this could take a while but I am open to location scouts and, in really special circumstances, help from my remote shooter Sandra who rides miles of Vancouver blacktop every day and may see an irresistible specimen. Hey, it’s been 13 years already and umbrellas are popular as ever. This week alone I saw both Global and CBC used a ‘dead umbrella’ photo in a news story. I must be on to something! Enjoy the blustery ride. Cheers.Two Hundred and Forty Nine. #umbrellalostalone Ambivalence of desire edition.
