I remember it quite well, it ran on the front pages of many U.S. newspapers, and it's just one of those shots which for some unknown reason sticks in my mind. For better or worse, I believe that one photograph did more to fix an image of Trudeau in the minds of us southerners than any other.

He's sliding down a railing in the Chateau Laurier hotel, arms held high above his head like a kid sliding down a bannister during the Leadership campaign '68. It was shot with an M4, 35 summilux and tri-x! And I'm the only photographer to have it, because everyone else ran down the stairs and outside waiting for him to get in his car.
