Their job is to go out and see what matters, and then make the pictures that can help the rest of us understand and remember the story.
Whether the story is big or small, the Citizen’s photographers use their lenses to reflect this community back to itself.
They did it thousands of times in 2014.
As the year drew to a close, we asked them to look back at all the pictures they took and identify the moments that they’ll never forget, and tell us the story behind those images.

Bruno Schlumberger recalls: “I did remember taking photos most of the time lying down under the table so I could have 2 things, minimize my presence (which is a tall order to achieve!) and have a different angle as the boy communicates with his computer—this was one of my favourite assignments.”
OTTAWA, ON: MAY 13, 2014: A Via rail train and a canoe cross paths as Nada Skerl takes advantage of high water levels to go for a paddle in the Richmond Fen, one of the largest fens in Eastern Ontario ( Chris Mikula / Ottawa Citizen) For CITY story Assignment # 117068
Chris Mikula recalls: “In early spring, when water levels were still high, Nada Skerl and I set out by canoe to explore the Richmond Fen, one of the largest fens in Eastern Ontario. As we followed a narrow channel along the railway tracks we noticed a Via Rail passenger train approaching. Pulling my camera out of its waterproof bag, I managed to take three or four frames as the train sped past. Even I was surprised by the resulting image. The sky, the colours, the blurred movement of the engine — everything combined to capture two Canadian icons passing in the wilderness.”

Jean Levac recalls: “Home openers are always fun. There is more excitement in the players reactions. But a franchise opener is electric. Jeff Hunt came down to the sidelines in the last moment of the game and I felt that he was going to explode with joy if his team captured a victory. Boy, did he ever and it was only while looking at the image on my laptop screen that I saw the synchronized jubilation with the crowd and himself. A great moment for the young franchise.”

Wayne Cuddington recalls: “It was a fairly innocent photo assignment to shoot the Ottawa Redblacks year end team photo session taking place at TD Place and it’s been my experience that often there are interesting moments before and after the official photo is taken. Linebacker James Green did not disappoint as he brushed his long locks while waiting with his fellow players for the team photographer to take the photo.”
Even amidst the painful and tiring task of washing and re-dressing all of his wounds – which takes four hours and must be done every other day – Tina and Jonathan laugh often and heartily. Like many other 14-year-old boys, Jonathan Pitre loves sports, dreams of a future as a coach and has a crush on a cute girl at school. But unlike most boys his age, Jonathan suffers from Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) – a rare disease defined by severe blistering and shearing of the skin that leaves Jonathan in constant pain – the likes of which most would find intolerable. (Julie Oliver / Ottawa Citizen)
Julie Oliver recalls: “That day included me photographing Jonathan in the bath and the re-dressing of his wounds by his mom, Tina. I can’t imagine the courage that took for him. I thought I would see his disease, EB, up close, but what I really saw was how close these two are, what love they have and how, even while dealing with a horrible disease, they both manage to laugh so easily.”

Ottawa nurse Margaret Lerhe, centre, also rushed to the scene to help. Assignment – 118747 // Photo taken at 10:02 on October 22, 2014. (Wayne Cuddington/Ottawa Citizen)
Wayne Cuddington recalls: “Tasked with finding enterprise art on the morning of October 22, 2014, I was driving east on Wellington St near Bank St when I heard a number of emergency sirens and subsequently noticed a number of police vehicles racing towards Parliament Hill. Stuck in traffic, I phoned the newsroom to find out what was happening and shortly afterwards drove past the scene unfolding at the National War Memorial. I pulled over at a bus stop, grabbed my cameras and began photographing. “

Ashley Fraser recalls: “On a chaotic morning and with so much unknown, I tried to makes sense of what was happening directly in front of me the day of the shooting. When I saw the tactical vehicle pull up on Sparks Street and heavily armed police officers prepare to escort someone from the building, I kept my camera pointed. When the vehicle pulled away and they proceeded to take the civilians out of the building, I realized it had to have been dignitaries they had just moved. It wasn’t until I was back at my computer that I realized the high-profile figure was Gen. Tom Lawson, chief of defence staff.”

“People were already gathering on the sidewalk by the time I got to the funeral home. Strangers wanted to come and pay their respects. As Kathy Cirillo followed her sonís casket to the hearse, she understandably broke down in tears. And so did many of those strangers.”

Crowds stand patiently waiting to place their poppy on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier as the annual Remembrance Day Ceremony takes place at the National War Memorial in Ottawa. Assignment – 118932 Photo taken at 12:42 on November 11. (Wayne Cuddington/ Ottawa Citizen)
Wayne Cuddington recalls: “I knew it would be a sizeable gathering at the War Memorial on Remembrance Day given the outpouring of support for Cpl. Nathan Cirillo gunned down while on sentry duty on October 22. I’ve photographed the ceremony many times over the years but my idea this time was to photograph the crowd as they gathered at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. I elected to use a 15mm “fisheye” lens (some curvature on the frame edges) and raised the camera above the crowd using a monopod and remote shutter release. I took probably 15 different images and this one seemed the most interesting in shape and content.”
Moved to tears as the veterans passed by, Dave Collins, tips his hat as a gesture of thanks to them from the crowd. Remembrance Day at the National War Memorial in Ottawa November 11, 2014. (Julie Oliver / Ottawa Citizen)
“This year, Remembrance Day somehow meant more as it came so soon after the shooting of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo. I saw a man in the crowd with tears in his eyes as the veterans paraded past. He removed his hat and I photographed him just as he respectfully tipped it towards them. He personified, for me, how we felt that day – sad, but also proud and united.”
