Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Gerald McCoy.

Bucs photographer Monica Herndon: 2018 was full of new challenges, surprises and tough moments.

“This year at the Times was full of new challenges, surprises and some very difficult moments. I took over the Bucs beat and covered the team at every home game and through countless sweaty practices. I produced six videos for our Everyday Tampa Bay series, including my favorite on a group of Powerlifting Grannies. I also traveled to Panama City to report on recovery efforts post-Hurricane Michael. Look out for those stories in the coming weeks. In 2019, I look forward to more Tampa Bay sports coverage and deeper storytelling.”

All Eyes 2018 gallery: Octavio Jones’ wide range of visual coverage

My year started with making a national story local when the Trump Administration ordered the removal of undocumented immigrants through U.S. Immigration Custom Enforcement officers. It was then I received a tip on Luis Blanco, of Plant City, a father of six children who was going to be deported to Mexico. Stories like Blanco’s solidifies how critical photojournalism is to the reader. From covering a Little League Baseball opening ceremony, a family Cuban bakery, the Florida Governor’s race and a father killed over a parking space, my journey photographing news for the Tampa Bay Times in 2018 is one that I never forget.
