Canada 150: Fred Herzog, colourful street photographer

Fred Herzog arrived in Vancouver in 1953. The young German immigrant was fascinated by all aspects of Canadian life, and set out to document it with his camera.
Herzog saw art in almost everything: a family sitting outside on a summer’s day, a Volkswagen Beetle turning the corner in the rain, a wall of photos of men’s hairstyles in a Main Street barber shop. He shot billboards, second-hand stores and store window displays, neon signs, the working waterfront, and people.
