Brother Edwin Reggio, C.S.C.


My photos have appeared in countless publications around the world. Of late I am particularly proud that my photos of Canadian writer  Robertson Davies are on the cover of the first Catalan version of his Deptford Trilogy. I have had a cover on Time Magazine and many other magazines of international stature. But today I felt particularly proud. Who would have known that my religion teacher, Brother Edwin Reggio, C.S.C who taught me back in 1959 would someday send me the following:

Hi Alex,

A brochure on the Brothers of Holy Cross at St. Edward’s is being put together. I would like to use the photo you took of me in the chapel with a woodcarving….may I have your permission to use that…of course, you will receive credit as the photographer.


They were going to shoot another picture of me doing woodcarving in the shop…but…on Monday I had surgery on my nose to remove a skin cancer….and I don’t look too photogenic with a big white bandage on my nose like a “life-guard”…

Bro. Edwin
