I Was Butchered!

Saw this guy, Paul Campbell, walking down Jubilee, and spoke to him outside the QEII. He's got quite a story, and it's pretty bad for Capital District Health if true. You can reach him at pgc1959@hotmail.com.

I love this guy ...

... pity one can't nail a few pints while listening.

 

 

I went to Montréal ...

... and all I got was one shot better than anything just about every photog on the planet will ever get.

I've fucking said this before ...

... I need an agent. If someone doesn't get me out there, Leibovitz is going to keep getting paid, and that does no good for anyone.

The 'hood ...

... at sundown.

Remembrance

In 2003 I did a series of portraits of veterans, all members of the Vimy Branch of the Legion. The series hung at Pier 21 for awhile: I got on TV, but didn't get rich or famous (per usual). Still important, though.

"I had the time of my life on those motorcycles! If they were shootin' at me, I didn't know, 'cause they never got me!"



"And then I saw 'Canada' on the shoulder patches of the bodies floating as I swam: that's when it hit me."



"We did it because it had to be done."



"Every time I smell diesel I see the tanks running over those guys."



"I was a conscientious objector, you know, so I carried stretchers."
