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.

Welcome to Crowdsourced Sunday, a curated batch of photos from our Twitter followers. On Saturdays we send out some tweets from our @VIAwesome account, asking our followers to tweet us photos of what they got into during the day.

Every day we share a single photo from our Flickr Pool shot by one of our faithful and talented readers (that’s you!) If you've ever tried to articulate in words what makes an interesting photo for you as a viewer, it's a fairly challenging exercise.

Thrice weekly I bring you personified pieces of our city.

Vancouver, City of Destiny, an illustration by Paul Goranson and Orville Fisher, depicting a wise old Father Time directing a young man towards his destiny.

It's a new dog twice a week! Click here to find out how to get your dog posted if you haven't sent in your photos yet! Today's dog featured in Dogtown Vancouver is Koston, Megan S's pup. Here's what she had to say about him... NAME: Koston.

Skateboard culture is deeply rooted in this fine city of ours. Not only does Metro Vancouver produce some of the world’s finest wood-wheelers, it’s also a major migratory destination for skaters from all over Canada.

Every day we share a single photo from our Flickr Pool shot by one of our faithful and talented readers (that’s you!) It took me a little while, but I'm finally able to think about hockey again.

On Monday I INTRODUCED you to the Pespi Youth Music Movement who are going across the country recording audio and video for 12 young Canadian musicians on the cusp of making it big... for FREE.

We are incredibly honoured and excited to share this next video with you. It's another one that has been in the works for a while, and finally, the stars aligned and we were able to coordinate schedules.
