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! :-)
