Description

According to the negative sleeve, this set of photographs is captured in color. The scans of these images are in black and white.
Photograph of the Technocracy motorcade driving through the streets of Vancouver near Stanley Park. The shadow of a building is cast onto the street along the bottom edge in the foreground. A street passes through the image on a slightly upward angle to the right. On the near side of the street, a dark truck drives away from the camera at right. A median stretches between the 2 sides of the road. On the far side of the road, cars of the same color drive in a line towards the left. They are part of the Technocracy movement's motorcade driving through Vancouver. About 3 cars are fully visible at center. They are viewed at an angle from the front and side. More are barely visible at far right, beyond the truck in the foreground. Businesses line the far side of the street in the background. Five punched holes dot the bottom edge.
