Dreaming in that past century was something that as a photographer and occasional writer I could indulge with pleasure. I could go to just about any magazine or newspaper in Vancouver and see the editor without previous appointment.

In that last century I went to Charles Campbell  then editor of the Georgia Straight with the idea of doing a fashion spread with story by David Boswell (he of the Reid Fleming The World’s Toughest Milkman). I further suggested we use dancers from Ballet BC.

Because I was a friend of the Marble Arch Hotel owner, Tony Ricci, we used the finest room of this then sleazy hotel.

Boswell’s scenario was about three women luring a man into the room and killing him with a snub-nosed .38 revolver.

And so it happened.
