À propos du livre
"Toronto in the 1980s" documents the city of Toronto in the 1980s. Woolaver grew up in rural Nova Scotia and moved to Toronto in 1980 to study photography at Ryerson (now TMU). Inspired by Lee Friedlander and Robert Frank he walked around Toronto with his camera, capturing street scenes with fresh eyes. The photos in this book represent what Woolaver feels are the best of his Toronto work. Most of these photos are now in a permanent digital collection at the City of Toronto Archives.
From the introduction, "I had no way to anticipate how significant these Toronto photos would seem to me 40 years later. They show things that no longer exist, even though it hasn’t been that long. Without necessarily trying to, I caught images of buildings, cars, fashions, gadgets that are no longer part of our world. Toronto’s entire skyline is utterly changed, part of the inevitable growth and evolution."
