The three longest terms in office belong to those first three premiers: Joseph R. Smallwood, Frank Moores and Brian Peckford. Irish-bred photojournalist Paul Daly moved to Newfoundland and Labrador in 2000, after first visiting two years earlier. He also learned that politicians in Newfoundland and Labrador come in different stripes, and not necessarily the political colours. "With some politicians, you know exactly what they think," said Daly, pointing quickly to Danny Williams, who was premier for two often tumultuous terms. Not included in this gallery are Smallwood (premier from 1949 to 1972), Moores (premier from 1972 to 1979) and Beaton Tulk, who was premier for the four months in 2001-2001 between Brian Tobin and Roger Grimes.
