Christopher Raymond Jensen
A fifth-generation British Columbia boy (that’s in Canada); born in Burnaby General Hospital, February 3, 1958, to Raymond Christopher Jensen and Barbara Streeting. I was raised in Vancouver, B.C. Canada, where I was also gained an Elementary School education.
I live on the street by Choice. Binning is a way of life for me . I came from a very troubled childhood with its many ups and downs. Have been employed as a web pressman, Sound engineer, and there have been several labour jobs throughout my life. Now I’m on disability which has come about from my haunted troubled youth.
A peek into my past photos
Summer of 2009
In the summer of 2009 I played a small part in the “VELO-CITY: Vancouver & the Bicycle Revolution” exhibit at the Planetarium Museum in Kitsilano. I would like to thank Propellor Design members Pamela Goddard, Nick Rust, and Toby Barratt for giving me the honor by placing a photo of me among the entire great riders of our age. One of the four photos below was used in Bicycle Revolution exhibit at the Museum in Kitsilano.
