RIP John Neville. in the mid 80's, I got my first big break as an emerging photographer. assigned by Saturday Night Magazine, to shoot a portrait of John Neville, artistic director of the Stratford Festival. I rented a car, picked up a fellow photographer friend who agreed to assist me, and layed rubber from Toronto to Stratford. We set up in Mr. Neville's house, and got the shot. oh... and BTW....... I showed up about 1/2 hour late... I have never been late for a shoot since...

Great image, Doug. Sceptical and vulnerable at the same time. Lorna Brown

I think one of your shots is included in an Edmonton Journal online gallery of his time in Edmonton. Sure looks similar to this portrait. Doug H.
