We’re fortunate at The Western Producer to have many freelance photographers who submit material. Sometimes they get themselves into their photographs, as Sharlene Bennie did in this one. Bennie and her family farm near Waskada, Man, and she has been submitting photos to the Producer for about 15 years. She tells me she takes photos just for the fun of it and views it as a hobby.
We’ve got a 15 year relationship with Sharlene, yet this is the first time we’ve been able to put a face to her name. Well, part of a face, anyway. I thought I’d share her photo, with her permission, so readers of the paper (and this blog) can see the woman whose photos we’ve had the pleasure of publishing over the years.
