Every so often I have to resort to copy photography to digitaize and reproduce a piece of artwork. This is usually when an item is too large for a scanner, or perhaps to textured. Size was the case for these 6 items which needed to be reproduced in a magazine spread. But photography aside, what struck me most was the content of the artwork. They were memorial prints from the Strathcona High School. All of these young men were in their early 20's. We all know that the war took the lives of many Canadians, but when you see their faces and the look in their eyes....it is very sad indeed to know all these young men lost their lives. I have a real soft spot for men who die in the line of duty, be they firemen, police, or soldiers, and shooting this was an emotional experience for me.
