General note:

Show detail Hide detail

A self-portrait taken with a first-ever visit by a PM to Dawson. The spontaneously wielded camera was immediately embraced by the PM in the same spirit - he leaned into me and generously hugged my shoulder amidst his politely distant, grinning security staff. To the crowd's delight, the 'meet and greet' part of the PM's day was extended by none other than the PM, and he stayed on at least an additional 2 hours - a full match to the spirit of that day. He shook every hand that was there. In 1996 I was living in Ottawa. So - later on that fall I dropped by the Prime Minister's residence with a large copy of this print - on fiber, nicely done up. I didn't see him then but he kindly wrote me back, and in the note he remarked that meeting the public was one of his favorite aspects to being a Prime Minister. Definitely the kind of guy you want at your summer BBQ. (I met the PM years later at Nunavut Day, Iqaluit. I wasn't directly in his path, but he spotted me from deep within his entourage: he broke out from them and marched straight over to me. 'I know you,' he grinned - 'You're the guy from the Yukon!' I replied: 'Yes. Ah, that Yukon photo - where's my cheque!!')
