Fred Herzog: A Photographic Journey Through Vancouver's Past

After the tea, I walked over to the Art Gallery to see a fantastic display of photographs by Fred Herzog. He emigrated from Germany to Canada in 1951 and then to Vancouver in '53, about the same time my father did. He took a series of photos of Vancouver since the late 1950's, many of them in brilliant colour. Looking at them brought back a number of memories of the way Vancouver used to be. Good memories all!

Here are a few photos I've linked to at the Equinox Gallery:










The exhibit is only showing until May 13th so you better get down there PDQ if you want to see them. They're quite amazing photos!
