I met James Medynski at Hemlock Film Rentals on Orwell Street in North Vancouver. I walked up this steep staircase and entered the treasure trove of his business where he has many original pieces of art available to rent! Also he has a large digital collection of images, he can print and frame ready for pick up in a short time frame. He's a great fellow to work with and he's been in business there for 3 years.
