Spur of the moment photo op…

On Canada Day, July 1, 2016, I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing two prominent broadcasters, Red Robinson and Chris Gailus. To have two prominent broadcasters in the same room at the same time is rare, so I took the opportunity to photograph both Red and Chris together.

I waited for an opportune moment to get their attention, introduced myself and asked if I could get a photo of both of them together and they both agreed. Before approaching them I made sure my camera was ready and had an idea of how/where I wanted them to stand for the photo. We were in front of a stage that was brightly back lit so I had them stand with the stage at my back and them facing the stage. If I had them in front of the stage back lit by the lights of the stage the photo would not have turned out the way I wanted.

Both asked for a copy of this photo and Red used it in his blog which you can see here. Pretty cool. Thank you Red and Chris for posing for the photo.
