Lifes a Beach...

As photo editor at The Breeze, it isn't often I have the ability to venture out in to the world with my fellow photographers. True, I shoot a lot of photos for The Breeze and my internships. Though a photojournalist tends to work alone when on assignment. So I jumped on the opportunity to join my trusted photographers, Julie Cosgrove and Fernando Sarabia at Venice Beach.

Cosgrove has proven to be an excellent addition to my team of photographers. As she is the former editor of The Breeze she has been able to assist in my transition from photographer to photojournalist, and has been a key element in the adjustment of working with writers. Don't get me wrong. While the last two Editor-in-Chief's where able bodies in photography, there not photographers. There for, they could never really grasp how important photography is to us. Cosgrove allowed me to vent my frustrations in a way that no one else at The Breeze could understand.

Sarabia consistently provides me with colorful, action packed images of the one subject in which I have the least interest in photographing, Sports. I can depend on him going to home and off campus games. While there have been other photographers who have provided me with sports photos. None have been as passionate and dependable as Sarabia.

Between the two of them, The Breeze has been able to publish a wonderfully attractive paper with strong imagery. That in combination with interesting stories from our talented staff writers makes us one hell of a good publication.

Below are more photos I shot that day at Venice Beach, Enjoy .
