Default Generals in Snow Storm

Generally senior Canadian Officers are weary of the media and when they do get their photograph taken by the press they want that photograph to show them in the best light - not with a snarl on their face.

Ed Storey. Exactly, couldn't have said it better myself. As an ex-Forces photographer, you had best be careful when you pressed the shutter...lol..

Hi

Ahhh, fond are the memories of these sorts of visits. Trying to get a range done or out in the OP and suddenly, everything had to stop. You'd see a photographer skittering about. The wig(s) of whatever big variety blew in, asked a few questions and blew out.

Dog & Pony Shows were different as it usually was more planned and interrupted less than "visits".

Imagine the Hairy Bag in snow with a horse at a tank range. Donny Boy has a nice Navy hat on. CO seems happy but the Brig looks like he is wondering why here's there...like the turret crew.

regards
Darrell

Darrel Zinck. Great shot.
Hopefully the Navy mascot did not disgrace itself when the gun went off.

Looks like an Ottawa propaganda shot showing how the the Navy and the Army were such good Bud's.
