It was hard not to notice Steve. He definitely stood out from the crowd despite his camouflage at the Bicentennial commemoration of the Battle of York in Toronto. The Battle of York took place during the War of 1812.
Steve is in the Canadian military and I thought he looked like Sasquatch but this is really a ghillie suit, a form of camouflage worn in combat to blend into foliage. He was one of several soldiers in uniform mingling with the crowd and representing the modern Canadian Forces.
When I asked to photograph him for my projechttp://www.utah.com/destinations/t he was quite accommodating and even met my request that he move the strands aside "a bit" so that at least part of his face would be visible. When I asked Steve just where this suit would be worn to blend into the surroundings, he shrugged and guessed "A haystack, maybe." We both had a laugh as he explained that this suit is not that practical in combat and would likely tangle with a rifle and that it is often worn at public events like today's.
Thank you Steve for being Stranger #39 for my project.
