Last week I introduced you to what will likely end up being the best book about Vancouver released in 2011, Michael Christie's The Beggar's Garden published by Harper Collins Canada. HERE is my review.

SCENE AND HEARD showcases the independent music scene here in Vancouver. With 24,658+ artists, boasting 111,721+ tracks, the CBC Radio 3 web site is the absolute ultimate authority, and the home, of independent music in Canada.

I started this project called A Stranger A Day to overcome my shyness and talk to people. The challenge: talk to a stranger a day for a year of my life and try to convince them to let me take a picture and share a story.
