The 29th Date

After Elaine
Intersection
Probably one of the first places I saw in Downtown Vancouver. I would have never imagined that the following scenes had taken place in the very same spot.
I’m used to seeing comparisons between images representing what a particular place used to look like and how it looks now. I thought it would be interesting to play with the idea of actually “standing” on the intersection where history took place.
Vancouver, fall of 1942. Burrard & Melville. Seventy years later, these two buildings have been transformed into Burrard skytrain station.

1943. Members of the Air Raid Precaution in a Victory Loan Parade travelling south on Burrard Street near Melville Street.

Maintenant
I was mesmerized by the ‘timeline’ that could be perceived in this image. An old picture of Seattle and the present vibrant city coming together in one single window reflection. It’s the past, the present, and a glimpse into the future. C’est maintenant.
