One Year in Vero Beach

I started my staff photo job in Vero Beach on Sept. 1, 2009. On that day I was sent out to find a few feature shots and cover a fire that didn't amount to much. My main responsibility here is shooting for the Vero Beach 32963 weekly newspaper. However, I also shoot a lot for the online sister site Veronews.com. The Website has a little slideshow on the front page that is sized to a 360-pixel square. I don't usually shoot square photos so shooting for the site front was (and sometimes still is) a bit of a hurdle for me. I thought it might be fun to post a slideshow gallery of every photo that went on the 360px front from the last year. After weeding out a few super uninteresting sign photos and building mugs (not all of them) I've got 295 photos. You might notice some of the recurring news was: Vero Beach Electric Debate, Ira Hatch Trial, features of fishing, Friday night high school football and the beach sand replenishment project. I spent way too much time on this slideshow but there are a few keepers in there. So, if you've got the time, try cycling through the whole gallery. I even threw in some short captions to explain most of the shots. Here's to one year in Vero.



I thought the Soundslides looked kind of cool with all of these photos.

Haha, MIlla, your comment kinda sounds like it was left by Tony the Tiger. Thanks.

Hmm, square is such a strange format. I mean possibly interesting from an artists point of view, but somehow I feel like looking through a keyhole all the time. Maybe I like too much the panoramic viewing angle of the human eye ...

Great shots anyway!
