Iconic Vancouver photographer Fred Herzog passed away on Monday. He captured a city that is lost today. This quote struck me:
...In his later days Herzog sometimes bemoaned the lack of colour on the Vancouver streets of today, compared to the time when he shot its streets. “It’s boring now,” he argued, “because when you walk down the street you see only a grey concrete building with aluminum trimmings and a neat sign which you’ve already seen 200 times before because it’s part of a chain of dry cleaners or banks or sandwich shops.”
