Black and White Photography Day on Commercial Drive

Commercial Drive, AKA The Drive is a vibrant, bohemian cultural hub in the Grandview-Woodland neighborhood. It is renowned for its eclectic mix of over 300 merchants, authentic Italian heritage (Little Italy), diverse international dining, indie boutiques, and a lively café culture. It has also been named one of the coolest streets in the world
by Time Out.

What can I photograph?

The Drive is quirky. It’s buildings are no higher than 4 stories, some are over 100 years old. You’ll find interesting textures, old storefronts and signage, unique windows and doors, graffiti and murals. It is a wonderful location to practice street photography. The theme of this photowalk is black and white.
