Angus McIntyre is a retired bus driver of 41 years. A lifelong interest in transportation, lighting and urban history led him to documenting the city scene through photography. 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 and the faded glory of corner grocery stores. McIntyre's night time photographs of emptiness of the city and its streets show us a recent but seemingly distant past.
A curation of his work will be on display at Baron Gallery. Opening 2-5PM on September 16 and running until October 28th.
