In Focus: Our Vancouver

Photography & Statement by: Bernie Lyon & Lee Bacchus

This sample of our work, generated largely as an ongoing project for our blog (splinterinyoureye.blogspot.com), is an attempt to represent the city in a way that is both more individual and more historical than those images and photos found in conventional, often commercial, visual depictions of Vancouver (postcards, calendars, tourist propaganda and print media etc.). While Bernie and I bring differing sensibilities to these images, we both feel a deep connection (often ambivalent) toward this ever-changing metropolis teetering at the edge of the world.
