Foncie Pulice

 

Vancouver's famous street photographer, Foncie Pulice in action at the corner of Robson & Granville in 1968. Foncie snapped an estimated 15 million photographs over his 40 year career from 1935 to 1979. He would take pictures that captured Vancouverites going about their business on the streets of downtown Vancouver. The next day customers could redeem their claim ticket and buy their picture at Foncie's storefront.

I have pictures of my parents taken by Foncie! I'm sure many people have Foncie photos in their family photo album.

I don't know who these gals are, but it's a great photo.



A picture is worth a thousand words

Was it staged?  I don't know.  If he wants his "secure" ballroom, why doesn't he address the gun problem.  A safe ball...
