Taking a gander — A crazy dare from a fellow photojournalist at the Winnipeg Free Press saw me committing to a 30-day goose-a-day challenge — every day I worked, a new photograph was to be created with a Canada goose in the frame. By Day 20, the challenge was beginning to get a bit tricky. The exercise forced me to journey into urban wildlife areas in and around Winnipeg. On June 27, Day 28 of the challenge, on a windswept field of bulrushes near Tuxedo Business Park, I was looking for my daily ganders. To my amazement, seven heads popped up out of the flowing cover. The photo looks like a watercolour painting and was a gift that came from the challenge — it is easily my favourite photograph of the year in 2012.
