Canadian city of Vancouver is a metropolitan seaport city which is a developed city all modern facilities but do you know how the city looked with its wooden houses almost 60 years ago?
Fred Herzog came in Vancouver as a medical photographer but on weekends & in evenings he used his camera to take photographs of the life in the streets. Today his photographs give us a glimpse of the lifestyle of the city when development has just started.
