Photographs from Vancouver in 1973-1976 by Angus McIntyre. Curated by Civic Historian and Author, John Atkin.

Angus McIntyre is a retired bus driver of 41 years. A lifelong interest in transportation, lighting and urban history led to photography as a method of documenting the city scene. As a natural night owl the late night shift was an obvious choice and his camera frequently went along for the ride. In the deserted streets of old East End, he captured the details of light on streetcar tracks about to be ripped from the ground and the faded glory of corner grocery stores caught in the incandescent glow of Strathcona's street lights. McIntyre's photographs of the night time emptiness of the city and its streets show us a recent, but seemingly distant, past.
