Hi Crew,

There are surprises of all kinds, good, bad and ugly. Then there are really
big completely unexpected nice surprises! :-) Christmas or otherwise.

 

Doorbell rang, I'm not expecting anyone but there was a stranger holding a
large envelope and as he handed it to me he said. "This is a special
delivery from BRAVO TV! They were hoping I could get it here for Christmas
as a surprise." He smiled and with that he said, "Merry Christmas" and
hurried to his car. Ready? 

And drove away in a bright red Honda!:-)

 

Some of you may re-call last year I mentioned being approached by BRAVO TV
wishing to do an hour documentary about my life as a photojournalist.

 

Little did I know it would be over a year in production start to finish. So
here I am sort of stunned. More than usual:-) 

 

It was a DVD of the finished documentary ready to air on the network! :-)

 

I've looked at it and it's difficult to see the key board because the
emotions are running rather high.

 

I knew they had interviewed a number of people whom I've photographed or
been involved with over the years. 

 

However when a previous Prime Minister of Canada and his wife were
interviewed it kind of shakes one a tad. 

 

Quite frankly I'm humbled beyond words by the comments of the many
interviewees. Simply because you never realize how they related to you as a
person and your photography. 

My son came up with, "Gee you don't hear those kinds of remarks unless it's
a wake!" :-)

 

It will be on air early 2008 entitled, "Ted Grant-The Art of Observation."

 

"Yes ted there really is a Santa Clause!" :-)

 

Have a happy one everybody! :-)
