Fred's aesthetic is largely due to the film speeds he had to work with. Kodachrome was 25 or 64 ASA, which meant nothing could move quickly in the frame, but what was there had incredible colour saturation. Also the formal objectivity of a 50mm lens. There is a stillness about Fred's work that is different to Winogrand or Meyerowitz. Now people complain if they can't get clean 6400 ISO files. We have the tools now but the subject has lost its innocence, and feels threatened by the camera.

I used to see him walking around when I lived on Victoria drive. Just thought he was a nice old guy. Not till a few years ago did I find out who he was. He was just always around, walking, with a camera. I never did talk to him. Just saw him walking. His photos really are the best. He was an amazing artist.

Don't you now wished you had stopped and passed the time of day with him.

A true legend, with great advice. "I wanted to make photos for myself". Anyone doing photography ought to listen to those words.

This is so true! Todays culture impose acceptance from a wider audience, very often in the most superficial sense. A good picture is too often defined by the number of "likes" it gets on social media or by how much it conforms to predefined aesthetics and content standards. Apologies for winging ;-)

I love his work. He was so modest, a gentle soul, talented and inspiring. I will definitely show his work to my students. May he RIP.

Just today learned of his passing on 09 September 2019. Very sad news. He is truly among the greats. Just like the NW corner of 5th Avenue and 57th Street forever belong to Joel Meyerowitz, the south corner of Vancouver's Granville and Robson will forever belong to Fred Herzog.

Meyerowitz went for drama, making statements, the unusual… Herzog simple street scenes capturing the humanity of a city. No comparison.

@@alicemoffat7436 @Alice Moffat I made an observation on photographers' favorite locations. How did you conflate locations to styles? Please read a post carefully before replying. But to your point since you raised it, no, Meyerowitz did not go for the dramatic. You're thinking Bruce Gilden, Diane Arbus, Mary Ellen Mark, et al. Meyerowitz is like Herzog or somewhat like William Eggleston, shooting the wonderfully banal.

I saw Herzog's self portrait yesterday and I really liked it. I got the strong impression that this is a guy who's passionate about motorcycles, which I thought he reflected really well in his picture. Then I watched this video today and got his love for motorcycles confirmed. Interesting piece. Thank you for uploading.

Wow great video, I wish I knew about street photography back when I was growing up reaching my adult good in the 70s. That was when I bought my first camera the Olympus om-10. James Sharp
