Oh....this is moving! Your vignettes and almost a silhouette on that last shot, have been carefully framed...you are doing some good work with the camera.
A great tribute to a worthy cause and champion. Well Done
I have always been impressed by Terry Fox. Our children and most schools have an annual Terry Fox Run to raise money. Great subject and beautiful photos.
Love all the different angles and lighting you shot this at - very nice work!
Beautifully shot and framed with the vignettes. I am so glad he still inspires.
Love the photos & the creative way you shot them. It's also a fitting tribute to a great role model.
I've never heard of this brave young many. Thank you for sharing his story with your wonderful shots. I especially like the last one - the vignette is very effective.
That Canadians keep his memory alive and continue to work towards his dream should also be a source of national pride.
Such an interesting story. The photos are wonderful. The angles and perspectives are great.
I love "Hero's"... I mean real ones. Not the rich and famous fake Hollywood type. That for sure is a great tribute for a real Hero. Thank you for sharing this great tribute.
This is such a moving story. A tragedy that has left a wonderful legacy to live on. Your photographs are a beautiful tribute to this young man who lost his life all too soon.
