Post a Comment On: Exposure : Ron's Ramblings

Thinking back to 1967, it was a big deal when Canada turned 100. I was 8 years old when I received my centennial coin at school. It was also the year my Dad’s company printed a book called Canada – A Year of the Land. The book celebrated Canada’s 100th birthday. [Image] Dad brought home tear sheets for me to put up on my walls. The photos really stuck with me. I wanted to be one of those photographers travelling across Canada taking wonderful images of the landscape. That desire really never left me. I still love what I do and hope to continue for many more years. As Canada celebrates it’s 150th birthday, I will continue to travel and capture images. I’m fortunate to be in two books that celebrate Canada's sesquicentennial. The first book is called The Colour of Canada by Roy MacGregor: [Image] Here are my images from The Colour of Canada: [Image] Red Canoe

The second book is called, True North: The Canadian Song Book by Eleanor McCain: [Image] Included with the publication of this coffee table book are two CDs Eleanor has recorded of classic Canadian songs. She is performing these songs across Canada with a slide show of the images from the book. Here are my images from True North: The Canadian Song Book: [Image] Fundy Mudflats in New Brunswick

Of course our self-published book “Canada through our Eyes” is still available on Blurb: I have spent the last 27 years travelling across our great country. I’m proud to be a Canadian and I’m proud to help celebrate its 150th. Happy Birthday Canada!
