Photography by Leonard Whistler

Street Sign Triptych

A triptych is a picture or artwork divided into three sections and displayed side-by-side. The term comes from the Greek word triptykhos, which means "three-layered". Triptychs are often used to create sequences, or to show different elements of the same subject matter.

In the metro Vancouver, Canada area there are 3 streets with my name. Leonard Road is in Richmond, Keith Street is in Burnaby, and Whistler Place is also in Richmond.

My 1999 Chevrolet Venture Minivan

In 2008 I purchased this 1999 Chevrolet Venture Minivan for 5,000 Canadian dollars, and I still have it. It is a very reliable and practical vehicle. I have owned it for almost 17 years now. The picture on the right was taken in 2022.

Vancouver Photography Book

In March 2024 I published an 80-page Vancouver photography book with 79 images of Vancouver BC, Canada. I got them printed at Mixam Canada, and the quality is very good. 100 copies were printed and the cost was 1,800 Canadian dollars.

The Metrotown location of Indigo Books has some copies of my book in the store and the retail price is $24.99. The books sell on a consignment basis and I get 55% of the retail price. The books are very prominently displayed. In the image to the right I am at the book store and my book is in the bottom/right of the picture.

In about 3 months Indigo Books has sold 12 copies of my book. In the picture to the right, I have the first check I received from Indigo for book sales.

I am also selling my book on my website at: Vancouver Photography Book. There is also more information about my book on that page.

Website Coding

One of my hobbies is website development. I just finished adding a My Blog section to LeonardWhistler.com and this is my first blog post. For those interested in coding a website I recommend books on HTML, CSS, PHP, MariaDB, and JavaScript.

I have two websites, this one and Stubby.ca.
