The past year offered a lot of interesting stories, people and events to photograph. As a photojournalist, I’m always striving to make pictures that help our readers better understand our community. While reviewing my work from 2013, I found many pictures that weren’t published but still offer a unique look back on the year. Sometimes there just was not enough space in the newspaper for every picture, and sometimes we chose others that better conveyed the most important part of a story. And sometimes, I simply shoot pictures because what I see looks cool and offers a different glimpse of something or someone.
    Hopefully, these outtakes can further remind us that photography is powerful and, sometimes, just plain fun.
