Born a Canadian, and a bird lover since his tenth year, Albert Simmons at 44 has perfected a technique of photographing game birds in flight, especially ducks and geese, which is better than most men's technique with a gun. He uses a telephoto lens with a sight such that he can "shoot" at arm's length, as with a fowling piece. He has the eye of a killer to focus and centre his pictures perfectly.
