He was 58 and had worked for 40 years as a photographer at The Vancouver Sun. He was often seen at the #milanocoffeeroasters bar on Powell Street, a few doors down from my store, editing his photos on his computer, getting them ready to send for the next day’s paper. Mark was an enthusiast of many things - photography, news, food, boating, skiing and coffee. Oh, how he loved good coffee. He will be dearly missed by family, friends and colleagues at The Sun. And his stellar photos will be missed by Sun readers. • #markvanmanen #vancouver #vancityphotography #photography #photographer #vancouverphotographer #thevancouversun #vancouvermedia #canada #newsphotography #gastown #mygastown #angelofgastownNew Arrival: The Desigual “Landscape Nimbus Capri” bag looks like it was painted by Van Gogh.

They bought a pair of Desigual leggings. Annette said she was in Vancouver filming a new Netflix series, Virgin River. She has been acting since the 1960s and is perhaps best known for portraying Lisa Bridges in the TV series Nash Bridges, Lana Lang in Superman III and Superman’s mother, Martha Kent, in the Vancouver-shot TV series Smallville. Annette said she loved the Desigual line. She is married to actor/musician Michael McKean, probably best known as playing David St. Hubbins, the lead singer and guitarist in the 1984 mockumentary This is Spinal Tap (swipe ⬅️ to see McKean in costume with the fictional rock trio - that’s him on the far right). In one of the great moments in Spinal Tap history, the band did a cross-Canada tour in less than 24 hours, playing St. John’s, Newfoundland, Barrie, Ontario and Vancouver on Canada Day in 1992. Annette is also a singer-songwriter - she and her husband co-wrote three songs for A Mighty Wind, a 2003 mockumentary about a folk music reunion, with one song, A Kiss at the End of a Rainbow, nominated for an Oscar. One of the songs came to Annette as she was driving to Vancouver from Los Angeles after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, which grounded all air flights.
