As we look forward to another busy week in Tampa Bay, take a look back at some memorable images from last week as captured by Tampa Bay Times photographers.

Photographer Douglas Clifford captured this photo where, just moments after being honored for her lifesaving act, Janie Morales meets Brad, the Rays fan who suffered a heart attack six weeks ago, and was given life-saving CPR by Morales.

“That was tough,” recounted Chris Urso, photo director for news and sports, who was in court on assignment for the sentencing of Cory Corrado, for the deaths of Janine Dorsey and Peter Yore. Urso, who formerly worked at the Tampa Tribune, remembers Dorsey, who was a colleague there.
