Extra! Extra! See all about it! My bird pics in the newspaper

Roger Simmons, August 20, 2024August 20, 2024

I work with a very talented, experienced group of photographers who produce amazing work day in and day out at the Orlando Sentinel.

So I was really honored when our photo editor asked me for some of my bird photos for the weekly Sunday Snapshot feature on the back of the Travel & Arts section.

I offered a pretty big selection of recent photos, and she narrowed it down to seven that appeared in print.

Here’s how the page came out.
