To-day at lunch I was asked by a chap I'd just been introduced to.

"What have you done as a photographer? I don't seem to re-call any photo
credits?" He asked.
So I gave him a little list which he found rather interesting.
What think you? ? :-) 

Dang it was a great life, too bad they end. :-(

    * Chernobyl Children-Russia/Ukraine
    * Hawaii-The Islands
    * Bullfighting-Spain, Weekend Magazine
    * NATO exercises-Norway, National Film Board of Canada
    * Oil Airlift-Congo/Zambia, The Canadian Magazine.
    * Six Day War-Middle East 1967, Star Weekly Magazine
    * Vietnam 1968, Weekend Magazine
    * Industrial Empire-Japan, National Film Board of Canada
    * Summer Olympic Games- Munich 1972, Montreal 1976, Los Angeles 1984,
Seoul 1988, Barcelona 1992
    * Winter Olympic Games- Lake Placid 1980, Sapporo 1972, Calgary 1988,

This merely touches the total with 99.9% shot with Leica's of some kind
creating a collection of  280,000 images in the Canadian National Archives.
And another 100,000 in the National Art Gallery of Canada.
I trust you find this a bit interesting as I've posted it due to the chaps
question, as some of you may have wondered also. 
cheers,
Dr. ted  :-)
