Rodney Ellmore, a good friend and long time Queensberry client, enjoyed a distinguished 46-year career.

Over lunch recently I asked him about the shift from black-and-white to colour photography that transformed the portrait and wedding industry. Profitable careers were built on strong partnerships between a generation of photographers and their vendors.

I believe there are lessons here for our own tumultuous times.

PS How did Rod “keep us honest”? If we were ever unsure of something, we’d ask ourselves, “Is it good enough for Rod?” Every business needs such good-humoured, supportive, demanding clients. And to listen to them.

I shot the picture on my iPhone. Rod says he likes the back-lighting but I’m sure he’s being kind.
