Terra Nova National Park, Newfoundland
When I was 8 years old I collected rocks, bugs, snakes, tadpoles, coins, stamps and also brought home the occasional stray dog. Nowadays I don’t have any of those “hobbies” but I guess I still do collect things. I have a huge collection of photographs from my travels around the world, of cities, landscapes and wildlife. I guess I still am that little boy at heart.
When I was 8, I never dreamed that I would become a photographer let alone that I picture I would take would become a Canadian Postage stamp. This stamp commemorating the 50th anniversary of Terra Nova National Park in Newfoundland is 2nd of my pictures to be used by Canada Post on a stamp.
Do you like collecting photos? Well, to help you improve your collection, my friend Younes Bounhar and I have teamed up to conduct a couple of photography workshops in Ottawa this summer. Please visit our workshop page to learn more.
You’re on a roll my friend. This is terrific! I want me one of those
I’ll bet when you were 38 you never thought you would see the day that your photo had the same monetary value as a postage stamp? :>)
At least we now know you’ll be sticking around for a few more years, Garry.
Congrats, mon ami.
Congrats, Garry! Lovely photo. You’ve captured a combination of ruggedness and serenity in the same view.
I was also a philatelist in my youth (still seem to collect a lot of stuff …), so this has an extra special meaning to me, too. Good going.
