News of the Day

This morning I was sent to cover the search for a boy who went missing on Sunday afternoon. When I arrived at the location where the searchers were supposed to meet, I found a field wrapped in police tape.
Over the course of the morning, we learned the police had found a body, and there was a good chance it was the missing boy.
I hate hearing about Amber alerts and children lost to predators. Sometimes, like in the case of Shawn Hornbeck and Ben Ownby, the children are found alive. I wished that would happen more often.

When I worked in Sebring, most of my spot news coverage consisted of car accidents and an occasional fire. Since then, I've covered a lot more. In each picture, I got close to capturing the decisive moment. Today, I think I finally nailed it.
