I had photographed Frank Gurney, engraver, forty years ago while a student in photography school. He surfaced again in a different community nearby as the person selected to engrave replicas of the Grey Cup, for the Canadian Football League. I compiled a mock up for the book from my old negatives. I visited Frank and he helped me sort out and identify the photographs, and I added some new photographs to the collection on what was 40 years later, within a few days. Frank worked as an independent engraver for most of his life. He engraved objects, semi precious stone, precious meals, medals, rings and what I photographed him doing, engraved rifles, shotguns and pistols. Forty years ago, I worked with a 4x5 view camera and a set of home made tungsten lights. In 2009, I used a digital camera. Frank retired within days of my taking the color photographs. Color and B&W, 43 photographs, 58 pages
