"Some of my favourite of MY posts:

One Night Stand

Ringing in the new year with some of Vancouver's finest musicians. Very fitting for how I spent much of my time in 2010.

An Awesome Showcase

Where I lived for the Olympics. A taste of my morning routine.

Peak Performance Project #1 finale

Peak Performance Project #2 finale

TWO Peak Performance Project finale shows in one year. So much money handed out to Vancouver talent.

Last Week In Music

Favourite Last Week In Music. Dan Mangan sold out the Vogue and I took some of my favourite concert photos ever.

Fadermaster Mo Off Spectacular

This was an epic night of music and hair removal. Some Mo's needed to go, for others it was kinda depressing, and spectacular to shoot the before-afters.

Other favourite posts and why:

V.I.A. print magazine Issue 1

Hands down, favourite post of the year. I cried when I got my hands on the magazine (right there in the newspaper store)... and was so excited to be able to share it with the rest of the world on the website. I sincerely hope we get to do another one soon.

Introducing the Vancouver Book Club

The day Lizzy joined the team and we launched the VIA Book Club, I did a little dance. I look forward to lots of required reading in the new year and spreading the WORD about Vancouver literary talent with Lizzy.

The Iggy Heard Around the World

It's hard to pick one Olympics-related post, but this video made me smile and gave me goosebumps every time the horn went. I will forever remember that day of my life when the men won gold and the streets flooded (this is the video I made of that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoOSb2C6Br4). The Olympics were here because Vancouver Is Awesome."
