I swear this man has an identical twin wandering the streets of Charlotte Amalie in St. Thomas. He always carried his shirt in hand, self-flagellating himself either as a method of prompting a breeze in the day's heat or perhaps to ward off flies. I never once saw him pushing a cart, but his gnarled frame curved in the same manner and his flesh was the color of oak. It made the whiteness of his hair that much more intense.
The motif here is Greater Vancouver in transition. With many exceptions.
Unless otherwise noted, most of the stuff here was created by Bernie Lyon, a Vancouver illustrator, and Lee Bacchus, a Vancouver photographer/writer. Our work has appeared in The Tyee, Vancouver Magazine and Western Living among others. Contact rlbacchus@gmail.com
