NYCat Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I saw an exhibit today of the wonderful photographs of Vancouver by Fred Herzog. Amazing use of color. Then I dug up an online article in the Times... https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/14/magazine/the-odd-otherwordly-glow-of-fred-herzogs-photography.html He is not a photographer I knew about before. How about you Canadians? Paulette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 (edited) Thanks for the link. Fred Herzog is one of my favourite street photographers. Sadly, the Vancouver that he documented has all but disappeared now, replaced by gleaming towers of cold steel and glass. P.S. He was also one of the pioneers when it came to using colour film -- rather than b&w -- for street photography.

MariaJ Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I have seen his work at an exhibit at the Vancouver Art Gallery. I loved the way he captured everyday life in Vancouver back then. As John says, everything is very different now. Maria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovemydesigns Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I have been to Vancouver two years ago, it reminded me of Moscow on sea... It has some nice places, but overall- a great disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MariaJ Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Never heard that one either. Perhaps it was rainy season? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That crossed my mind as well, but I've never been to Moscow. Do we have a Kremlin here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also this cathedral (below), but it's actually Ukrainian. Perhaps "Kiev by the sea" might be a more accurate characterization.
