Sean Orr is an awesome photographer who covers 鶹ýӳfrom a completely raw standpoint. Perhaps better known for his controversial/outspoken views expressed in his posts over at , you simply cannot question his eye for a great photo of this great city that we live in.
Sean has put together a book called PRETTY DRIFTED which you can get a preview of and hopefully of soon after. There's a release at a new gallery called HOTEL next Friday, here are all of the details/official release info:
The semiotics of the city of Vancouver; its materials and built environment, speak in a hidden language, readable to those who drift around, camera often in hand, ducking in and out of back alleys and brick buildings.
Orr has been wandering this city for a decade now after dropping out of third year geography, and has been using photography mainly as a means of understanding how the city affects his psyche, and conversely how the psyche affects the city.
This is his first solo show in four years. After switching to digital format and finding relief in the virtual gallery of Flickr, Orr recently used the online software Blurb to print a photography book.
Pretty Drifted, in bound form, will be available at opening reception and can be found online at:
