I was a freelance, visual journalist based in Denver, Colorado and New York, N.Y. www.steveremichphoto.com.

As one of two staff photographers at a local, six-day-a-week newspaper in northeast Wyoming, I covered news, feature and sports daily assignments and stories. Also frequently wrote text stories to compliment my images. Our staff was awarded first place for general excellence and second place for photographic excellence from the Wyoming Press Association in 2012. I also won individual awards for my work in 2011 and 2012.

I was the dedicated photographer for El Sentinel, a weekly, Spanish newspaper published by the South Florida Sun Sentinel. I used my Spanish skills extensively and regularly worked with Spanish-speaking subjects while covering stories throughout South Florida. I also regularly covered daily assignments for the South Florida Sun Sentinel, the daily newspaper serving Broward, north Miami-Dade and south Palm Beach counties.

As an intern, I covered daily assignments, picture stories and created multimedia packages for the Jackson Hole News and Guide, which is Jackson’s weekly, community newspaper. I also contributed to the development of a new multimedia column and won an award from the Wyoming Press Associa- tion for a self-generated story about the only Hispanic night club in Jackson.
