There’s a smeary Blade Runner atmosphere, but the roadside closeup doesn’t reveal the location. Slick with lurid pinks, the sidewalk reveals a setting ablaze with neon. It’s a detail, a patch of pavement. A city somewhere in Asia, maybe even Vancouver. Not necessarily a picture we’d associate with the photographer Greg Girard, the wandering chronicler of Asian megacities, yet when I ask him about the unusual subject matter, his response is recognizably his own.
