Message from Rob:
It\'s not every day you meet someone like Gavin. His work is inspiring and his stories are beyond fascinating. I learned about Gavin through a Documentary on Netflix called "The Propaganda Game". It is so new that it isn\'t yet offer on Netflix Canada yet so Gavin hasn\'t seen it. Although he did live it. I want to remind you Photo World that no matter how far fetched you think it is to meet someone, sending an email or tweeting to them can make all the difference. I don\'t know if I would have ever had the opportunity to interview Gavin if I didn\'t just try with an email following the slightest introduction through a\\xa0Documentary on Netflix. You just never know what life can bring.
