The coy black shoes stood right in the middle yet too timid to take ths spotlight awkwardly spoke to the bold red slip ons. The Hawaii chaps couldnt care much, they were so high on life and the buzz of music, the people, the rush of the chatter, they walked from a pair of footwear to another. The khakhi floaters stuck to the corner, not belonging to the event in attitude. The unlaced shoe sort of lost, spent most of the evening feeling very incomplete.
Such is the life of shoes these days. Wonder what takes place in the minds of the wearers.

475 Alexander Street, Vancouver, BC.
1906~1918: Birth of the School:
The Vancouver Japanese Language School was founded in 1906 at a newly-constructed wooden building at 439 Alexander Street, right in the heart of Japan Town. From the early 1880s, early Japanese pioneers to Canada began to settle and work in the Powell Street area, which later became known as "Japan Town". With the growth of more and more Japanese families in the area, the need for a school that taught Japanese and other general subjects for the children of immigrants, also grew. And so, in 1905, under the guidance of the Japanese Consul at the time, a Mr. K. Morikawa, a steering committee consisting of members of the Japanese community was formed to establish a school which taught the Japanese language and other general subjects such as math, history and science.
1918~1941: Early Years:
As a result of more immigrants desiring to have their children educated in both English and Japanese, in 1919, the policy of the school was changed to drop the instruction of general subjects and to focus on Japanese language instruction only. Children would thus attend regular Canadian public schools in English and go to learn Japanese language after school. As more immigrants settled in Japan Town, the VJLS also increasingly played a vital role as a community gathering place and organization. In 1928, a new building was built to accommodate the growing needs of the school population as well as the Japanese Canadian community. It was renamed, the Japanese Hall and Vancouver Japanese Language School to recognize its critical role as a community and cultural organization.
1941~1952: Lost Years:
With the outbreak of the Second World War in the Pacific in December of 1941, the School, whose population at the time was more than 1000 students, was forced to close its doors. As part and parcel of the physical internment of all Japanese Canadians to 100 miles east of the west coast, the Canadian Government confiscated all private, commercial, and community properties and businesses owned by Japanese Canadians.
From July of 1942 to August 1947, the VJLS facilities was occupied by the Canadian Armed Forces. In 1947, the government sold half of the VJLS property and facilities to pay for maintenance expenses accumulated during the war. From 1947, the remaining building on 475 Alexander Street was rented to the Army and Navy Department Store until 1952.
1953~ : Post-war Years Triumph and Rebuilding:
In April of 1949 when freedom of movement and resettlement was finally granted to Japanese Canadians, some Japanese Canadians moved back to Vancouver and began the process of rebuilding their lives and their community. Despite the setback of the war and the lost years, there were many who still believed that learning Japanese was important to the identity of their children and to rebuilding the identity and pride of their shattered community.
As a result of the valiant efforts of many in the community who fought to reopen the School, the remaining half of the VJLS property was restored to the Japanese Canadian community in 1953. Out of all the Japanese Canadian properties, cars, homes, and businesses that were confiscated and never returned to their former owners, the VJLS stands alone as the only property among any Japanese Canadian private citizen, business or organization to retain ownership after the war. As the one remaining physical and community link from before the war, it symbolized and continues to symbolize the courage, perseverance, and resilient spirit of the Japanese Canadian community.

Scott is a linguist and historian who speaks several different ancient languages, including Gaelic, Welsh and Russian. He was explaining to me the fine differences between Scottish Gaelic, Ulster Irish, Munster Irish, Argyll Gaelic and Manx when my cellphone rang and I was called away. Before I left, I asked Scott for a few quick shots, and quickly explained the 100 Strangers project. I'm glad he agreed to be photographed.
Thank you, Scott, for being stranger number sixty-three in my 100 Strangers project. I wish I would have been able to spend some more time listening to the different dialects. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the flickr group page.
