In Toronto in the Seventies, Brian Condron documents the everyday lives of Torontonians as their city boomed: a population with one foot firmly rooted in the past and the other valiantly striding for the future. Captured in these pages are local shopkeepers, Bay Street bankers, streetcar riders in their Sunday best, and fashionable Yonge Street partygoers. There are auto garages, greasy spoons, schoolyards, and streetscapes, all fixed in time. Unexpected juxtapositions and artfully captured coincidence fill the frames and demand scrutiny. Overall, there’s a sense of something happening in Brian's photographs—a city hurtling toward the future while the rhythms of daily life seemingly stand still. Filled with nuance, humour, and pathos, these photos document the everyday push and pull of Toronto and its citizens during a decade of profound progress.
