Vancouver-based photographer Greg Girard is enjoying a great and well deserved late career surge of interest in his work. He continues to explore and expand on themes that originally engaged him in the early 1970s. I recently did a video for Galleries West featuring one his many Asian culture-focused projects; that of the phenomena of the Japanese “Snack Sakura” bars that he has been documenting. During the interview I ventured into other topics and the port of Vancouver came up. So I decided to expand the interview and include a couple of outtings with Greg to talk further and illustrate the topic a little more fully. We hope you enjoy this little snippet of working life on the city’s waterfront over the years!
