The Pinnacle's Year in Photos 2006

The Pinnacle published this week many photos that summarized the year in review, nine in our hard copy and 15 online (many of them from the same pool as the hard copy) chosen by our city editor and publisher.

Two of the photos chosen were mine, which is cool as I've only been there for five months. (The first month I started there I was finishing an internship at The Santa Cruz Sentinel, a daily, simultaneously and worked six to seven days a week).

The cow really was this color in real life:


Heather Perreira, 10, exhibited her red calf, Mini-Pearl, for the first time at the San Benito County Fair in September.

This photo if it hadn't run would be in our Year in Sports Photos 2006 which will run next week. It is one of my favorite photos that I've taken for any newspaper:


The Balers boys water polo team tossed head coach Tom Agan into the pool to celebrate their first-ever playoff with against Lynbrook High School.
