Mountain Man Ed - a photo on Flickriver

Mountain Man Ed

            Here is a picture of one of my best friends, Ed, from Sulphur Mountain overlooking Banff, Alberta, Canada - in 1979'. 

3 buddies including Ed moved to Calgary from Windsor, Ontario in 1979, Ed to University and us other 3 to find jobs, fame and fortune.

Ed's self-proclaimed "Mountain Man" tag was so appropriate too. Whether in the Canadian Rockies or the Northern Italian hills and mountains, Ed was in his element.

Ed passed away in 2011 leaving behind his wife Linda and 5 children.

As it said in his obituary: "Eddy was a born story-teller, charming, funny and generous, with a passion for food, family and friends".

I photographed Ed with slide film back in the day and photographed this slide in a macro set-up.

Thanks to Photoshop and some other techniques learned over the last few years I was able bring this image up to a high image quality.

I feel like I spent the last 2 days with Ed again while editing this image. We all miss him dearly and remember him fondly. A good man right here, a good man...
