It was a full day yesterday with my sister. On a five kilometre walk through the west end of Vancouver, we stopped to share a chuckle with "The Laughing Men". These 14 bronze sculptures were on loan from a Chinese sculpture for two years and, thanks to the promise of financial support from a private donor, could remain in Vancouver at Morton Park. They bring smiles to visitors faces and delight the children.
During the afternoon we managed to find the Equinox Gallery Project Space, hidden away in a huge warehouse east of Main Street. We parked in mud among semis and trailers and cement trucks. The exhibition provided a walk down memory lane for all of the visitors. His photographs of Vancouver in the 1950's and 60's are evocative and alive. We reminisced with others and enjoyed flashbacks. Counting the red dots, we calculated that the sales totalled around $400,000, a successful event for both the photographer and the gallery.
