    A wonderful recap of photographic memories. The best, of course, is the simple composition of the icebergs, (6th one). It is simple outstanding – the best!

    Chris…an amazing and highly personal legacy story. You and Dennis originally fired my passion for photography which has transmogrified mostly to wildlife. As I embarc this week on a 12 day Yukon loop to hopefully catch grizzlies ( and anything else)preparing to hibernate, I will bring both of you men in my thoughts.
    Every time I peer through a lens you guys are with me.
    Thanks for kickstarting my passion.
    Cheers and keep discovering!!!!
    Buzz

    1. I, and I am sure Dennis as well, will join you with the grizzlies! Have fun my friend! Chris

  10. A interesting newsletter Chris that showcases the mentorships you’ve had through the years, an enjoyable read!

    Chris: I am gobsmacked… nearly literally speechless. This is an epic newsletter! It is a tribute to the fine quality of character grown, nurtured and multiplied on this planet by you, and those before you, and those after you as well. I love your story told through the lens of mentorship. I raise my glass to you and to Rita — may you two thrive in each coming adventure. We are blessed to have you in our world.

    1. As always, your thoughtful comments are much appreciated. We are both blessed as I know you and Jack are. Thank you. Chris

  12. I canoed the Bowron Lakes with you in around 1984. I was 24 and the other participants were a lot older – they were the parents of your Quest students, I believe. I remember paddling with 80 yr old Colin(?) and thinking how amazing he was. That trip was an experience of a lifetime and it led me to do many more amazing backcountry trips in all of BC’s beautiful seasons. My mother in her early 70s went on a magnificent Mt. Robson hike with you in the mid 90s and absolutely loved your expertise in guiding – for being the knowledgeable and interesting outdoorsman that you are. Thanks for everything Chris – I am so enjoying keeping in touch this way, through your newsletter. I cherish the large print I have of the bobcat swimming across one of the Bowron Lakes chain. It was a photo you took, if you recall. Barb Lepsoe

    1. Barb, seeing your name come across my screen was AMAZING! I remember you on my Bowron Lake trip, I remember making that photograph of the lynx, and I remember your mother on my Mount Robson hike; all amazing memories. The fact that you have stayed in touch for almost 40 years is also amazing. It’s an inspiration to never stop writing my Newsletters. They’ll only stop when I stop!! Thank you for getting in touch; much appreciated. If you ever pass through the Cariboo, please drop in to visit at the Gallery. Cheers. Chris
