Take Down Training
Back in 1987, I did a self assignment for the book, Calgary: A Year in Focus. I went for a ride along with the Calgary Police Service, Canine Unit. I spent the day with the unit photographing the team in their work.
Late in the day, we found ourselves at one of the impound lots for a little hide and seek. The “perp” was wearing a thickly padded suit. I recall the dog in the photo was fairly new to the unit and was muzzled ensure the safety of the volunteer perpetrator. Earlier we had practiced a similar take down in an unused warehouse space, which was unfortunately too dark to photograph.

A Drive On A Wintery Day
We went out for a drive the other day. For a change, we took my wife’s car. I grabbed my camera but find it less convenient to work with all of my equipment from her car. In a bout of laziness, I decided to give myself a self assignment; To shoot with only one lens for the day.
