Video and Photography- with Stu Ducklow

 Stu has had a rather long and winding road in life. Long because he's 73. Winding because I’ve had dozens of jobs and careers. I’ve been a banker, a bush pilot, and an all-around newsman on small dailies across Canada and in England. I’ve worked in the media for 30+ years as a reporter, photographer, editor, and graphic designer on dailies across Canada and in England. I’ve won awards from Canadian Press and Associated Press, shot an exclusive film of Prince Charles, had my lens smacked by John McEnroe, and been punched in the mouth by small-time thugs in court. Graphic and web design is less hazardous and more creative. It’s also very satisfying because I get to play an important role in my clients’ activities. I love exploring print and multimedia options with anybody who’s interested, and I’m not worried about closing a deal. Though I’ve been creating videos for several years I’ve recently bought new equipment so I can do a better job. Outside of work, I’m an enthusiastic sax player, short story writer, and painter. I’ve taken sax courses at Dalhousie, studied painting at St. Martin’s School of Art in London, and enrolled in a writing class with a local author. I’ve done pro bono work for the Dartmouth Players Theatre, the Halifax Music Coop, the Creative Music Workshop, raised funds for Shelter Nova Scotia and served meals to Syrian refugees for the Immigrants Settlement Association of NS. I have a lovely and interesting daughter, Stella, and even though I’m divorced, my ex-wife is still my best friend. To find out more about Stu check him out here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/studucklow/?originalSubdomain=caThanks for listening!
