Longtime readers of Model Railroader, RMC and other publications will be familiar with well-known Canadian model railroader Bob Boudreau. With over 850 photos published in the model railroad press, including 32 covers, he is one of the most prolific photographers in the hobby--and a great modeller, as well.
Bob was recently profiled in a magazine in the Maritimes. Find a link to it, along with some of Bob's photos, on my blog: http://cprailmmsub.blogspot.ca/2015/05/mr-dressup-fred-penner-annie-lebovitz.html

In addition to congratualting Bob for this recognition, I would like to say "Thank you" to him for his photography website. I learned a lot about taking pictures because of that.

What Bob Boudreau was able to accomplish before the era of small digital cameras was truly remarkable - but quite apart from pure technique his sense of interesting and "railroady" composition has always been first rate. Witness that great shot of a diesel framed between two snow plows. Good to see him (or any skilled modeler) get this kind of mainstream recognition.

Bob does a better job of assembling the scene, and he builds his own models- so you could say that Annie Liebowitz is the Bob Boudreau of 1:1 scale.
