Vancouver photographer John McGinnis reveals amazing portfolio
In the late 1940s or early jazz great Louis Armstrong tried to book a room at the Hotel Vancouver, but was rebuffed because he was black.
A young Province photographer named John McGinnis was there to get a photo of Armstrong, and couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"They went in the Vancouver Hotel and this guy came over to the imitiaton hermes bag (desk clerk) and said, 'Get that (bleep) out of here. We don't book blacks, are you nuts?' recalls McGinnis, 85.
this kid, to his credit, was so embarrassed he quietly said, 'Mr. Armstrong, come outside, I think I can get a place for you across the street'."
Armstrong and his entourage moved over to the Devonshire. While Armstrong was waiting for his handlers to secure a room, McGinnis approached him and asked if he could take his photo.
Armstrong said sure, sat down on his bags and started playing his trumpet. And McGinnis captured the scene, complete with Armstrong's handlers trying to book a room fashion cheap hermes handbags in the background.
When the Sun and Province held a photo exhibition at Presentation House Gallery in 2012 I went looking for the shot, but it wasn't in the Armstrong file. Its whereabouts remained a mystery until radio legend Red Robinson asked if I wanted to have lunch with an old Province photographer who had some great photos from the '40s and '50s.
McGinnis brought along a self published book he had made for his family, entitled I Shot The Queen And Thousands More. Lo and behold, there was the missing Armstrong photo, along with all sorts of wonderful shots of Vancouver decades ago.
In the early 1950s McGinnis clambered up atop the Hotel replica birkin handbags Vancouver and took some marvelous photos of workers cleaning the roof. He photographed BC Electric ripping up the streetcar tracks on Granville, and documented six row houses along Georgia Street, where the Queen Elizabeth Theatre is today. The Vancouver post office is going up in the background, which dates it to 1956 or of his photos are of sports figures or entertainers, such as Bill Haley backstage in 1954 at Vancouver first rock and roll show. McGinnis got good access because he co promoted the show with his friend, DJ Jack Cullen.
"It was like a nuthouse," said McGinnis. In 1956, McGinnis and Cullen were charged for allowing unescorted fans under 18 to attend a "rock and roll dance" at the Kerrisdale Arena. But they got off because their lawyer successfully argued they hadn't actually sold the tickets.
"The auditorium sold the tickets, because they were getting a percentage and they wanted control of what was comin' and goin'," McGinnis says with a laugh. "They suggested we'd been dishonest, so it serves them right."
McGinnis is one of the best storytellers you'll ever come across. He talks in a fantastic '40s slang, like a character from a Dashiell Hammett novel.
A good example is McGinnis describing his parents as "great friends of Joe Louis." This is his way of saying they fought all the time.
McGinnis had a rough childhood. When he was eight or nine, McGinnis and his four siblings were placed in foster homes.
"We were picked up by the Catholic Children's Aid," he said. "They snapped us up on the street, on our way home. And that was the last we ever saw of the homestead."
He would live in 13 foster homes before he "took off" at 15. He would visit his mother from time to time, usually sneaking off when nobody knew.
"(One time) I was with a boy in Westminster, I was going into Vancouver to see my mother," he said.
"He was down in the basement. I was getting ready to leave, and he was playing with matches. I said, 'Ron what are you doin'?'
"He says, 'I don't like it here, I'm going to burn the house down.' I said, 'Don't be so stupid.' So I went to see my mother and when I came home that night the house was burned down."
McGinnis first appearance in a newspaper was in 1940, when he and a friend were plucked out of the Kivan Boys Club and taken downtown to pose with British movie star Madeleine Carroll.
"The funny thing is, neither one of us could afford to see a bloody movie," he said. "How could I be gaga over her? I'd never seen her!"
In his teens he got a job as an office boy at The Province, and was transferred to the photo department. He started off mixing chemicals in the darkroom, and soon picked up a camera himself.
Newspaper people used to drink a lot in the late '40s.
"At the Vancouver Province they had certain guys who loved their booze," he said.
"They had a separate room with chesterfields and stuff in it called the Snake Room. When these guys got on a tear, they'd throw them in there and lock them in. No kidding, honest to God."
He worked for the Province from 1946 to the Calgary Albertan in 1951 2 and at the Vancouver News Herald from 1953 it folded in 1957. He did indeed shoot the Queen during the 1951 Royal Tour, as well as Marilyn Monroe and Robert Mitchum on the set of the movie River of No Return near Banff.
He got a little bit of everything in his archive amazing action Hermes birkin bags fake shots from the Calgary Stampede in 1951 and a shocking but beautiful photo of squatters shacks in False Creek in 1949, a wonderful picture of some guys rafting down an Aldergrove street during the Fraser River flood in 1948. He took them for the next day paper, and in most cases they haven been seen since. But decades later, his stylish photos have become historic documents.
