Turns out Glenn Gould was not the monastic esthete recluse we always thought he was – turns out he was something of a lothario, in fact.

No matter how obvious the solution may seem at first, I always think to myself, "I could push things further – take a left turn somewhere." I explored a few concept-driven directions but sometimes my job can be summed-up thusly: choose the right photo and get out of the way.



Here he is, in his original context: receiving a watch from Toronto mayor Nathan Phillips.



Thanks again to The City of Toronto Archives for making my job that much easier.

Nice! I especially like the hand-in-pocket action. (And yes, best to just enhance, not fight, the photo.)
