Just on the fringes of the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver one can view the gentrified nostalgia laced coffee shops just around Abbott Street.  The man in the window wearing shorts and out for lunch eating a bowl of onion soup seems content and resigned to who he is.  Anyone wearing a broad hat in a photograph is interesting.  The car in front is actually a speed cycle underneath. This  gives the image a retro look as does the metal chair in the room.  As Gary Winogrand and his like have always said there are photographs everywhere, just waiting.  I agree with that.  This one was there only for a second however.

  1. The man in the window wearing shorts and out for lunch eating a bowl of onion soup appears to be substance and surrendered to his identity.
