On Good Friday I spent a lot of time on the notorious Downtown Eastside of Vancouver. What I found odd was that the most derelict, downtrodden, media hyped neighbourhood wasn’t all that bad.
In between photographing and talking with a whole range of people, from the homeless and drug addicted to social workers and businessmen, I learned a heck of a lot, and went home feeling so inspired. Yes, my day on the DTES was uplifting to say the least.
