A family that (cos)plays together, stays together, am I right? Revellers and participants begin to assemble at Calgary’s Olympic Plaza a few Fridays ago at the conclusion of the annual Parade of Wonders, marking the official start of the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo.

Good advice from a vendor at the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo back in April. (Don’t mind the typo, however …)

It was a short visit to Calgary Expo for me this year, with time for only one panel discussion. I picked one with Colm Meaney, known for his roles on Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Hell on Wheels and a bevy of feature films. Here, he is speaking about the 2013 flood in Calgary, which affected Hell on Wheels’s production on the outskirts of the city. He said the flood washed away their set and displaced the cast and crew multiple times before they got to high-enough ground.

Here are some of my favourite photos from the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo this weekend.
The photo above is No. 1 on my list: The costume/bag was cool itself … and then the kid wearing it unexpectedly decides he needs to rearrange his something hanging from his neck just as I’m shooting the image. The result is priceless. I walked up to the guy afterward, showed him the photo and he giggled for a good 15 seconds.
More Expo photos here!
