But it occurs due to my career and the types of documentary assignments I worked on and volume of Leica gear I owned and used. In some cases weeks, day after day covering the, shall we say. "WHEAT HARVESTING ON THE GREAT PRARIES OF WESTERN CANADA! All B&W and the next year same time covering every aspect again, shooting only Kodachrome 35mm. 100s of rolls during 4 to 6 weeks! Day after day! Not just "Friday flowers!" At least a 20 year time period during the.50's to mid-seventies. Mine was primarily as a photojournalist and I didn't have to worry about print making on many of these as much of the printing was done by the professional darkroom staff of the National Film Board of Canada. However I did have to ID locations & captions for the hundreds of prints selected by various Photo-editors for different projects. And as many of you know I've never been a "techie photog" once again illustrating my "GREAT SPIRIT" has looked after me all these years! :-) Damn I must say, I have been one of the very lucky photogs I know! cheers, Dr. Ted Grant C.M.
