Fred Herzog exhibition 

Saturday was a very cool day. I met the legendary photographer Fred Herzog who is well known for his street photography around Vancouver.
There was an opening event for an exhibition of some of his work at the Equinox Gallery in Vancouver and Fred himself was there. 
I was lucky enough to speak with him for a few moments about his work. Specifically I asked him about his images taken at night. There are fewer night images of his out there and I asked if he approached night time images differently than his daytime work. He didn’t get into the technical side of things but told me he didn’t do as many night time images because after a long day working he simply hadn’t the time and energy to go out shooting in the evenings.
I was thrilled to have my photo taken with him (even if my eyes are party shut in the photo haha). He suggested we take the photo in front of the gallery promo sign. 
Award winning Canadian photographer Lincoln Clarkes was also at the Fred Herzog exhibition opening. I have seen some of his work and also saw a documentary about him on Knowledge Network so it was cool to meet and chat with him for a few minutes. There is a photo of he and I together as well…he is very tall. 
I included a few overview photos of the event as well. It was well attended.
