04/8/2012 Update: Fergus now has his own blog. Until I can figure out how to link it to this page properly, please check out his adventures at http://fergusphotos.wordpress.com/
I have been thinking for a while now that I should have a photo mascot. A friend of mine has Gnorman Gnome. A fellow optometry clinic’s staff has Garrett the Carrot. A student I taught had one of those wooden artist’s mannequins; I never did found out its name. I think it’s a bit quirky and fun to inject a bit of humour into my photography.
Fergus and I met right in the middle of a continuing education seminar on marketing your practice. I had answered a question, and the speaker gave me this nondescript yellow star. I wasn’t too sure what I was going to do with this star until my co-worker sitting beside me picked up the toy and gave him a face. Lo and behold, Fergus was born! He wears a snazzy pair of glasses and whistles all his troubles away.
First photo: taken shortly after Fergus was "born", during a lecture on binocular vision dysfunction
A trip to The Secret Garden for a cup of Angel's Delight tea
In preparation for his first flight, Fergus checks out the flight safety information card.
Hanging out at the Holiday Inn Yorkdale
Happy Easter everyone! Fergus was hanging out at Purdy's Chocolates today. He really wanted to dive into that chocolate egg behind him but it was $250 so Myra said no way!!
He doesn’t look too concerned about the flight. I guess he’s not afraid of flying! (PS. I MUST take Gnorman out more!)
