I took this picture a little while ago, but I thought it deserved a mention in my blog. What made this picture for me was when 2 yr old London Danforth walked in front of my camera on his way to seeing his first Flames game at the Saddledome, the look on his face, and the swinging of his arms to complete the red ‘C’ was perfect.

I was photographing country music star Paul Brandt as he was filling shoe boxes to send to children in Haiti during the Samaritan’s Purse volunteer day, when he grabbed a camera and started shooting me as I was shooting him. He had a great sense of humor and was a pleasure to work with during a great cause in Calgary on January 22, 2011. Photo by Christina Ryan

Sometimes it can be difficult to find an interesting picture in a mundane photo assignment. This time hard work paid off as I found an interesting angle. Long time volunteers with the Kerby Centre grocery program is Gerrit and Elma de Leeuw loading up their car with groceries in Calgary. Photo by Christina Ryan, Calgary Herald
