Greatly to my surprise, i was informed by the Canadian postal system that they were going to use an image of mine in a series celebrating Canadian photography. The real surprise for me was the choice -- a portrait made in 1970 of the painter Alec Colville, long before I was a practising full-time photographer. It was either the M2 or the M3, with a 35 Cron. I was writing about Colville for Time magazine -- I was a staff writer -- and I took the picture to accompany the piece. (Normally I didn't do this, because it did some of my photographer friends out of work.) I scouted the location beforehand, and when I took Colville there, he figured out what I was doing, which was to make an image in the spirit of his painting. He asked me if I had had visual training, to which I replied"none whatever." One of the tricks with stamps is you have to have something that works really small, which may have been why they chose it. But I am just passing this on for fun.
