Vero Beach in Season

The "season" here in Vero is in full swing which means lots of events and society parties to shoot. So, here's another random sampling of my coverage from the last few weeks.


I shot some more polo last month for an article that partially focused on the family aspect of some of the local teams. The second shot here is from an exhibition match where John Walsh squared off against his son, Hayden, for a few chukkers.




I got back in the kitchen for all of the excitement as chefs competing in the Vero's Top Chef fundraiser plated 160 dishes each for waiting diners and judges.


The Environmental Learning Center held its 14th Annual ECOfest, which brought people out in droves and gave me the opportunity to photograph happy children scooping up lake scum and holding large reptiles.



Out on the barrier island here you've got the beach on one side and the river on the other. It's only natural that I take a few shots of each on the reg.



I photographed local goldsmith Gary Dulac and, in an attempt to show his jewelry and him working at the same time, I shot one from the other side of the display case instead of up in his face. That one didn't make the cut but this macro shot of him applying his "scratch finish" to some 14k gold earrings made it into print.



The Vero Man Fossil went on display for a short time at the Vero Beach Museum or Art and drew people from all around the area for a glimpse at the piece of ancient art.


The Community Church in Vero began installation of their new Lively Fulcher pipe organ.


I like photos with space even if it's just a shot of a fellow dusting off a light fixture on the ceiling.

This last shot ran as a full page vertical on the front of our Health section. The patient is undergoing Conductive Keratoplasty to improve his near vision, not being tortured.
