So, there were some reports of a sludge-like goo in the water at the beach. Oil? Pollution? No, it turns out that it's just a naturally-occurring algae.
When I went out to the beach to check it out, all I could find were folks taking in the amazing natural beauty that we are blessed with every day.
So what did I do?
I took my shoes and socks off and walked into the water.
Purely to better do my job, of course.
It was worth every single grain of sand I (or my adoring husband) will later need to vacuum from my car.
Aaahhhh.
Grant Jefferies, a native of Palmetto and chief photographer at the Bradenton Herald, has been capturing moments in the lives of Manatee County residents for over 25 years. Images from the streets of Cuba and Haiti to the clay fields of the Little League World Series and beyond have been captured through the lenses of Jefferies' cameras. Jefferies can be found on his sailboat when his feet are not on land.
Tiffany Tompkins-Condie is in her 13th year as a photojournalist at the Bradenton Herald. Through the years she has covered crimes and carnivals; feasts and floods. Her postings will vary from events in Manatee County's back yard to the work of photojournalists covering the stories of our times from around the world. 
Paul Videla has been a staff photographer with the Bradenton Herald since 2002, when he made the move from Detroit, Mich. When he's not working,
he enjoys hunting for unique LPs at the area's plethora of thrift stores and continually works to improve his baking chops(as the records spin and his dog waits for handouts).
