It's World Photography Day, and whether you've been answering that question all day on social media, or are only pondering it now that we've pounced on the trending topic, it's a great chance for discovery.
For instance, here at CBC — just a few floors below the CBC Arts office — is a library. It's the home of our Still Photo Collection, a photographic record of Canada's public broadcasting history, of which arts and culture is a compelling part.
What are our favourite photos? There are too many to choose.
In the vaults, you'll find one-of-a-kind pictures of Gordon Lightfoot and Johnny Cash, Veronica Tennant and Glenn Gould... Casey and Finnegan.That's why we've gathered this gallery, a collection of CBC photographs featuring great performances and great cultural icons.
