The Closing of Eaton's
When Eaton’s stores closed, we went out to photograph and document this venerable
Canadian institution. None of the Eaton’s stores in Edmonton were really old, but even recent
buildings have a story to tell and especially one like Eaton’s where so
many people in Edmonton shopped there or grew up referring to the
Eaton’s Catalogue.
In the case of
stores that were in malls, people wonder what you’re doing with cameras
and they understand once you tell them, but commercial spaces are not the
same as public spaces when it comes to taking photos.
