Eatons Series

Eaton's, one of Canada's oldest nation-wide stores, closed it's doors in the Fall of 1999. During one of its final days I entered the downtown Vancouver store in search of bargains, but instead became enthralled with the array of empty shelves, odd unsold items, and vacant-looking mannequins. To me the scene symbolized the decay of consumerism at the end of the millenium. During the next few days I visited the downtown, West Vancouver, and Richmond, British Columbia stores and took many photographs. These are just a few. Click on any image to see an enlargement.
