Local Lensman Earns NPPA Photo Recognition

SeanFirst

Veteran readers may be familiar with the work of Walnut Creek photographer Sean McDonough, whose images appear regularly on our pages. Sean has quite a local following and apparently attracted a few more, recently winning First Place for Spot News photography in the National Press Photographer Association’s monthly regional photo contest. Proud of you, pard!

      So pleased you think so. Sean is an artist. We’re lucky to have him and other dedicated street journalists bringing the news to people through their photography.

      We always had a soft spot for the “shooters.”

      Sean—
      That prize-winning photo is incredible. Is the full, or even a higher, resolution version posted somewhere? I have an intense desire to pixel peep
