Adult store before dawn
The store is trying to present itself as a boudoir, but we’re commuting in the rain, and couldn’t care less.
I like the juxtaposition here, with the neon lights, cartoon legs and heels, and the pedestrian walking to work in the dark and the rain.
Picture taken on Vancouver’s Granville Street shortly before dawn one rainy morning in February.
Granville is an interesting street; you can get a fantastic range of images just walking along here. Starting off at Vancouver Harbour and heading south you’ve got the corporate offices and high-end department stores; it soon becomes an entertainment district, with clubs, bars and shops with teenage-orientated fashions; then it gets seedy, with adult stores; then hotels and the bridge, with views back over the high-end apartments of Yaletown; then you are in the upscale South Granville area, where you can buy a $350 pair of jeans and pick up the kind of modern art that very young children excel at. Then it goes all residential and, frankly, dull from a photographic point of view.
