Good day Mr. Bateman, I just wanted to start by saying I came to see you at Kingsway Mall, in Edmonton, about this time last year, with a framed reproduction of the Dozing Lynx, you told me a story about how you got stuck once on some backroads and the people who were helping you were speaking french. Your signed work is still hanging in my living room and I look at it every day.

A question I've wanted to ask you was: Do you look for anything specific in a nature scene before you use it as inspiration? What makes you take a picture of one thing as opposed to another? It's hard for me to clearly explain my question, I hope you understand what I mean...

Thank you for doing this, you were a pleasure to speak with, and I look forward to reading the rest of the questions people are asking you. Here's a picture my wife took of us the day I came to visit you.

Have a great day!
