Canada Post released the new series of definitive stamps for 2010 today. Normally, this would not be breaking news, however, the theme of the new series is “Mills”. Himself is a very accomplished photographer and one of his favourite subjects is Watson’s Mill here in Manotick. He often does event photography for them and has given them many pictures for their on-line gallery. In the Fall of 2008 he got a call from Canada Post, they had seen one of his pictures on the Watson’s Mill site, could they buy it to use as a stamp? To say he was tickled is an understatement, we couldn’t get his motorcycle helmet on him for weeks. There will be 70 million!! of the Watson’s Mill stamp printed, watch for one on a letter in your mailbox soon. Himself took the above picture of the mock-up of the stamp when Canada Post announced the new series at the Mill in September.
Here is the original photograph:
We’re quite proud of Himself today. Even though his wallet was a tad lighter when he left the Manotick Post Office this morning – he’s planning on doing some interesting matting and framing with the original photograph and the first day covers.
Congratulations on the stamp. A good excuse for not being able to get his helmet on.
