Rasoee – The Indian Kitchen in Vancouver
AHA MEDIA recently sampled delicious curries from Rasoee – Indian food, fast, fresh & modern. 
Peter of AHA MEDIA says:
If you like spicy Indian food that is reasonably priced and you’re in a hurry, Rasoee is the place to go!
We found their food delicious and comes with fresh chopped veggies on top.
We ordered butter chicken and lamb curry (both hot)and our food was ready to go in under 5 minutes (wow).
The prices were reasonable and the staff friendly. The curries were amazing and the naan was delicious and comes in white or whole wheat flavours.
We definitely recommend this place and would go back often.
Just a warning though, if you dont like really spicy food, dont order it hot! 🙂
Sunshine Coast, British Columbia
AHA MEDIA recently visited friends on the beautiful Sunshine Coast of British Columbia 🙂
(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
The Sunshine Coast is a region of the southern mainland coast of British Columbia, on the eastern shore of the Strait of Georgia, and just northwest of Greater Vancouver. It is generally considered to encompass the coastal areas of the regional district of Sunshine Coast, as well as the regional district of Powell River up to and including the village of Lund.
While populous and frequently visited by tourists, it can be reached only by using a ferry or float/airplane; because of the steep, rugged terrain, no access roads have been built from the rest of the province. The area around nearby Powell River, also on the mainland and inaccessible by road, is also considered part of the Sunshine Coast, while some people use the name to refer only to the area between Langdale (south) and Egmont (north).
Major population centres on the peninsula include Gibsons (near the BC Ferries terminal at Langdale, for vessels coming from Vancouver), Roberts Creek, Sechelt, Halfmoon Bay and Secret Cove (in between Sechelt and Pender Harbour) andPender Harbour. At the north end of the peninsula, the ferry to Powell River docks at Earl’s Cove which is also near Skookumchuck Narrows, where the skookumchuck, the world’s biggest tidal marine rapids, pass the tidal flow from Sechelt Inlet. A popular destination in the area is Desolation Sound which is beyond the end of Highway 101. The highway ends near the settlement at Lund.

What type of access does photography provide to our stories? This workshop explores the use of photography as a cultural democracy methodology.
Anne Marie Slater born in Scotland is a media artist, educator, and producer responsible for cross disciplinary, creative development, and facilitation of many local community public realm initiatives with roots in photography, writing, film, urban design, public engagement, and documentary practices.

Christian of AHA MEDIA writes:
Anne Marie Slater gave an excellent presentation on democracy, accessibility and ethics in photo journalism and in particular citizen journalism, in front of an enrapt audience.
Ms. Slater demonstrate how history and community involvement plays apart in her own work, particularly the Princess Avenue Children’s Interpretive Walk. Next, she shown some photos of AHA MEDIA with April Smith speaking on positive photos. In highlighting some of AHA MEDIA’s work in the DTES community, Ms. Slater managed to clearly convey the importance of being ethical especially when dealing with marginalized people.
After the amazing presentation was completed, Ms. Slater invited everyone in attendance to look at photos and discuss about ethics in photo journalism.
Through out the entire presentation Ms. Slater did a excellent job engaging the crowd on her important topic: Curating Histories with Photography: The Recording & Editing of Everyday Life, giving all attendees a memorable Father Day’s Sunday afternoon to remember.
