Dick Gibson  Illustrator Dick Gibson created these promotional graphics and the sketches found in the manuals. His illustrations always captured the essence of the Pageant. For many years Dick was the Principle Cartoonist for the Toronto Sun newspaper. He also did a weekly cartoon for the Brampton Guardian. Dick was a member of the Canadian Cartoonists Club, and both the American and Canadian Association of Editorial Cartoonists. His drawing of Terry Fox became the official poster of the Terry Fox Humanitarian Awards. He continuously entertained friends and family with personal cartoons and greeting cards. Sadly, Dick passed away in November 2002, and is sorely missed.

Photographers At Work   Top of Page Travel around the world to take pictures of beautiful, naked women - what a great job! and the Photographers agree, but it is hard work. • Standing for hours on end while everyone else is seated. • Arguments with Immigration every time they want to enter the country. The photographers have been arrested, their equipment has been seized, and they've been humiliated by petty bureaucrats because they shoot "naked women". • Working conditions of poor to no lighting. • The technical difficulty of shooting a fast-moving naked woman but managing to keep her in focus. And, unlike a car or horse race, these bodies move in unpredictable directions. • Not being allowed to "steal" any paying customers seating-area to set up equipment, and no blocking the customers' view of the stage. •The hassle from dancers who only want shots of "their best side". • Staying out of the way of the waitresses, and making sure no one is tripping over equipment in the dark. • Finding shooting locations and supplies in a strange city. Chris Lansdale says: "Pageant Photography is an Art Form that only a few gifted photographers have ever mastered." Visit Photographers At Work to see them in action!
