Soon after Vancouver began to be noticed by the wider world (Expo 86 is generally agreed on as the pivotal moment), the city began refashioning itself as an urban resort on nature’s doorstep and attracting attention as a destination for real estate investment. At that time, long before post-9/11 security concerns sealed off the working waterfront from the city, many of Vancouver’s downtown and east side streets ended at the waterfront, an area filled with commercial fishing docks, cargo terminals, and bars and cafés for waterfront workers and sailors. Pawn-shop windows downtown displayed outboard motors, chainsaws and fishing gear. Wandering these streets, living in cheap hotels, Girard photographed the workaday (and night) world of the city where he grew up. The photographs in Under Vancouver 1972–1982 were made before Girard began earning a living as a magazine photographer, later establishing a formal practice as an artist. They reveal an early interest in the hidden and the overlooked, the use of colour film at night, and the extended photographic inquiry of a specific place, all of which became signature features of later books such as City of Darkness and City of Darkness Revisited (about the infamous Kowloon Walled City), Phantom Shanghai and Hanoi Calling. Under Vancouver 1972–1982 is the first comprehensive collection of Girard’s early photographs of Vancouver. Made in and of the moment, a young photographer’s earliest engagements (often featuring the underside of the city), the pictures now form an unintended photographic record of a Vancouver that has all but disappeared"--Publisher's website.]]></description><link>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1190154</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1190154</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Girard, Greg]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1190154002</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781926856100/MC.GIF&amp;client=burnabypl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tokyo-Yokosuka, 1976-1983]]></title><link>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1273034</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1273034</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Girard, Greg]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1273034002</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781926856148/MC.GIF&amp;client=burnabypl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[HK:PM]]></title><description><![CDATA["HK:PM. Hong Kong Night Life 1974-1989 is a stunning visual record of photographer Greg Girard's earliest nocturnal wanderings in Hong Kong. From his first visits in the 1970s, and later, when he called the city home through the 1980s, HK:PM takes viewers through the city's neon lit streets and into tattoo parlours, dive bars and the hotel rooms of soldiers and sailors who frequented them. Other scenes depict the pre-dawn emptiness of Hong Kong's streets and alleys bathed in the colours of artificial light. With a foreword by award winning Hong Kong film maker Ann Hui, HK:PM adds a missing photographic link to the visual history of Hong Kong in the 1970s and 80s."--Amazon.com.]]></description><link>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1472706</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S2C1472706</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Girard, Greg]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://burnaby.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1472706002</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Hong Kong Night Life 1974-1989</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9789887712176/MC.GIF&amp;client=burnabypl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
