First Responder training photo receives award

Esteemed equine journalist and photographer, Barbara Sheridan, received second place honours at the 2015 Canadian Farm Writers' Federation (CFWF) Awards Banquet this past Sept 26th. Founded in 1955, CFWF serves the common interests of agricultural journalists, including reporters, editors and broadcasters as well as those in business and government whose primary responsibility is agricultural communications. The Don Baron Award, presented at the annual conference held this year in Calgary, Alberta, was open to photographs published by a Canadian medium that accompanies written copy on an agricultural topic to improve the editorial story telling capacity of the medium. "It was tricky capturing the action shot," explained Sheridan. "I only had the opportunity to shoot off a couple of frames before I had to get out of the fire fighter's way."
