Here is another photo, "May Grandfather," chosen by the editorial team at Leica Fotografie International and added to one of their online galleries. Link to the gallery:https://lfi-online.de/en/gallery/selection/Portrait.html #EastCoastKin #PhotographersOfBlueSky #ClassicMono #ECK #leica
his is my grandfather, Henry. Every Christmas morning, our family would head into town and have a nice Christmas visit with my Nana and Papa. The picture was taken on Christmas Day, 1983. I used a Leica M2 camera and a 28mm lens, Tri-X film.

I have seen Edward’s work at the Vancouver Art Gallery, his huge prints are very impressive. I have followed his work for years.

I agree, I think we all try to get along and feel, and the current manufactured conflict is maddening, as you say. It's so unnecessary. Hopefully, one day, things will change for the better.

Sure, you can be Canadian; we would love to have you, Dan! A lot of people love Vancouver, including me. I'm about 400 km east of Vancouver in the Okanagan Valley. As Canadians don't try to be open-minded about the American people, at least I do. Your leadership is not so great right now.

One last shot from my trip to Hornby Island this past summer. I was waiting for the ferry when I saw this driftwood up against a rock and thought it would be a potentially interesting black-and-white photo with lots of texture.
