Dear Ted,
I'm sorry I won't be able to see this. It would have been great. I
have just got back from BC and met Tom Abrahamsson, Henning Wulff and
some other Vancouver Leica shooters. I didn't have time to come over
to Victoria though, as I would have loved to have siad hello. Maybe
next time.
Best wishes,
Charlie Chan

CALENDAR OF EVENTS
October 2009
This forthcoming exhibition and book are two of the great highlights
at Lúz Gallery this year. Guest curator Duane Prentice combed
through the archives of Ted's finest images documenting the world of
medicine and has put together an outstanding collection of some of
Ted's iconic images alongside previously unpublished or exhibited
works.
For years I have felt that a gallery needed to do a retrospective of
Ted Grant's work documenting the medical profession, and for years
none have done it? Until now!
Dr. Ted Grant is truly the farther of Canadian photojournalism. His
fifty plus year career has taken him from covering the Six Day War
in the Middle East to the Summer Olympic Games in Munich or the
children of Chernobyl. He has published seven books, has 280,000
negatives in the National Archive, has lectured at the Leica
International Seminar for 15 years, and in 1999 he received the
CAPIC Lifetime Achievement Award in photography along with the great
portrait photographer Yousuf Karsh. In November 2008, the University
of Victoria granted and honorary Doctorate of Laws in recognition of
Ted's contribution to photography and his dedication to teaching.
Through all of this Ted Grant has remained a humble and
compassionate documentarian, with a keen eye who found a deep
personal connection and satisfaction in documenting the work of the
medical profession. This work produced two significant books:
Doctor's Work, The Legacy of Sir William Osler, and Women in
Medicine, A Celebration of their Work; co-authored with fellow
photojournalist Sandy Carter.
The exhibition opens to the public on October 22nd, and we have
scheduled a film screening of The Art of Observation produced for
Bravo Canada by Asterisk Productions, and evening in conversation
with Ted on October 29th.
