On a recent trip back to her beloved Montréal, mali discovered she preferred to photograph people when they aren’t actually there. Interested in the artifacts that people create, surround themselves with, and leave behind, her images speak just as much about the human subject as do the so-called windows to the soul.

City : Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Keywords : downtown, yaletown

Description : Yaletown got its name in the 19th century when the Canadian Pacific Railroad moved its rail yards and repair facilities from Yale, in the Fraser River canyon, to the new Yaletown on the north shore of False Creek. Known to many as Vancouver’s little Soho, the area has experienced a revival in the past several years to emerge as downtown’s trendiest residential neighbourhood for urban professionals.

Keywords : downtown, yaletown

Description : While I was absorbed by the green roof on this highrise in Yaletown, aka The Glass City, I got some cocked eyebrows from residents. All I can say is that people in glass condos built right next to bridges shouldn’t throw dirty looks.

City : Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Keywords : downtown, yaletown

Description : Amidst the mammoth Glass City that otherwise monopolizes the downtown skyline, this curious building with its peeling whale facade harks back to a slower westcoast mentality and serves to remind us of the wide economic gap brought on by rapid development in recent years. As a friend later put it so eloquently : « I love BC and its fake nature [motifs] »

Description : The Vancouver city council originally came up with the concept of having most of the downtown's drinking establishments centred in one area in the late 1990s. This was in part to help the city rid its image as the "No Fun City".
