A busy weekend for Mark and Christian. Here is a little bit from what they covered.
Always great to go back over the year and to see what we photographed in the community. It is a privilege to work with a talented staff and a group of interns. What they photograph is a small reflection of the great community of people we live in. Please see their work in our gallery of favorites and write us with your ideas of what we can see in 2011.
