Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper set the stage for a federal election on October 14th, 2008. Within hours campaign posters sprouted all over the region.

Driving home Sunday evening I stopped an extra long time at a stop sign. Ahead of me on a large campaign poster was a familiar face – it was my portrait – shot over a year ago for one of the candidates in the riding.

I had forgotten about the portrait, photographed in anticipation of an election forced by the failing of a minority government. Harper’s government remained standing and my portraits were filed away… until recently.

I always smile when I unexpectedly see my work proudly on display!
