My friend Chris suggested we shouldn’t miss the Fred Herzog Exhibit at the Equinox Gallery on Commercial Street.

I’ve seen Herzog’s work online, but seeing a good collection of prints at the gallery was inspiring, and we absolutely loved it. We left the gallery with his book “Modern Color” and I’ve already started reading it. I can’t wait to dig deeper.

It was a stunning spring day, and we headed up Commercial Drive full of inspiration. I feel like I captured some of the best street photography work I have done in a while.

Here is a description of the Herzog Exhibit:

The Estate of Fred Herzog

April 5, 2025 - May 10, 2025

Equinox Gallery presents a solo exhibition of street photographs by Fred Herzog, chronicling the street life of Vancouver’s Chinatown and surrounding neighbourhoods in the 1950s and 1960s. Guest-curated by Carol Lee, co-founder and Chair of the Vancouver Chinatown Foundation and committed advocate for the revitalization of Chinatown and the Downtown Eastside, the works in this exhibition highlight the area’s history of vibrant street life, businesses and social centres. As a champion of Chinatown’s resilience and with deep knowledge of its past, Lee’s engagement with Herzog’s photographs offers a renewed appreciation for his artistic vision while emphasizing the significant cultural heritage in our city.

The exhibition will be open to the public through May 10th. For more information or to request a list of available works, please contact the gallery at info@equinoxgallery.com
