To me what has happened in the last week and half seems like a renewal of my once collaborative relationship with writer Les Wiseman. In the days of gung-ho journalism we worked for many magazines. I was his Lenso the Argentinian Lensman. He wrote and asked me if I still photographed beautiful women! Perhaps when I am on the other side I will be snapping pictures of female angels.
Wiseman
told me that a former journalism student of his wanted photographs taken. I
contacted Emily who hails from Whiskey Creek, Vancouver Island. She told me she
had been born on the wrong side of the tracks. But then she confessed that she thought she was dyslexic.
She showed
up at my door on Friday and we took pictures. Emily considered everything in
her suitcase of stuff (mostly black underwear) to be female and she talked to
the many wigs she brought as, “She is
difficult to put on but I really like her.”
Wiseman
thanked me for doing this for him. I believe that the thank you should go to
him from my direction. Emily was a delight.
I am sure
all who see some of her pictures will agree.
