Photography - I'm an amateur photographer, and my subjects are whatever interests me.  I use whatever equipment is handy, including my Motorola C650 mobile.  However, my main camera is a Nikon CoolPix 5700.  Here are two pictures of a dragonfly that I took with my Nikon.  Dragonfly 1 and Dragonfly 2.  And here are two from my Motorola C650: Cheese and Fruit Plate and Starfruit.

The last two pictures were taken at The Irish Heather, a great pub in Vancouver.
