"Hi Pete, Here were the images of my shoot, with my daughter Nikki (photog at the Oakville Beaver and Burlington Post) sitting in as a positioning model. The theme was my old rant to photographers when shooting profile portraits of people in stories, to bring back at least one frame with their face on the negative as big as a dime. "Big Faces" The picture above the mantel is of my grandfather who was born in 1868 and owned the Barrie Advance Newspaper. He died long before I was born but the presence of that portrait subconsciously may have landed me in the biz. His wife, my grandmother also developed her own pics from about 1905 and her prints are still around.
Hoping the project will be a huge success.
Hugh"
