Stones again Patch together major awards in San Diego Press Club

My wife beat me again. As she did last year, when Chris won three first-place awards for her photos in the San Diego Press Club journalism contest, she again kicked my butt Tuesday night. She won two first-place plaques to my one. I got a second and a third as well — as I report on one of the Patch hyperlocal news sites I oversee in San Diego County. Chris won four awards this year, just like last year, in a club called the third-biggest in the country. Do they drug-test photographers?

Chris and I are on the right, showing off first-place plaques among Patch colleagues Tuesday night at the San Diego Press Club awards dinner.

    Drug testing? How about dress code testing? Can’t believe I’m seeing jeans in this shot. рџ™‚

    The gentleman in the ballcap is Eric Yates, my successor as editor of La Mesa-Mount Helix Patch. He won two first-place awards.
