Coming up this week is a photo workshop in Ottawa with David Trattles<\/a>. Two participants are from Combat Camera<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Who?<\/em>”<\/p>\n

That’s what I asked. And today we have a guest blogger – I asked Master Corporal Cribb<\/em> some questions…<\/p>\n

Sit back and soak up stories from Combat Camera:<\/p>\n

Harry Nowell<\/strong>: “What is Combat Camera?”<\/p>\n

Master Corporal David Cribb<\/strong>: Combat Camera is a Canadian Forces Unit attatched to the Assistant Deputy Minister of Public Affairs (ADM PA) for the Department of National Defence.\u00a0 It employs 5 Public Affairs Officers, 13 imagery technicians (photographers and videographers), and 3 civillian editors (1 still 2 video). Our mandate is to inform the Canadian Public of Canadian Forces operations around the world and at home.<\/em><\/p>\n

HN<\/strong>: “What is your role?”<\/p>\n

MCDC<\/strong>: “<\/strong>Typically (but not always) we cover events to which media cannot easily access; examples being foot patrols in Afghanistan, or a soveriegnty patrol with the Canadian Rangers in the high arctic.<\/em>”<\/p>\n

HN<\/strong>: “How long have you been photographing?”<\/p>\n

MCDC<\/strong>: <\/strong>“I have been an airforce photographer for 7 years and with Combat Camera for the last 2.<\/em>”<\/p>\n

HN<\/strong>: “Your most challenging assignment?”<\/p>\n

MCDC<\/strong>: “My most challenging assignment was probably covering the Nijmeggen Marches in the Netherlands in 2009.\u00a0 It was a deluge of rain for 4 solid days. We were averageing 22 hours a day and by day 4 we were almost hip deep in mud, trying to keep our gear dry, and scrounging to find somewhere dry with power for our post production work. It was a definite challenge.<\/em>”<\/p>\n

HN<\/strong>: “What interested you in David Trattles’ photo workshop<\/a>?”<\/p>\n

MCDC<\/strong>: “What interested me in the course was the opportunity to work with someone like Mr Trattles<\/a> who has such a wealth of story telling experience, and a wider focus of subject than we currently shoot. I’m hoping to get a broader perspective from this workshop, which in turn will translate to better stortelling for my imagery.<\/em>”<\/p>\n

HN<\/strong>: “Thanks!”<\/p>\n

Some of Master Corporal Cribb’s work:<\/p>\n
