Dave A photographer at The Jackson (Mich.) Citizen Patriot before joining The Herald in January 2010. In addition to his role as a photographer, Weatherwax manages The Herald's photo- journalism department, edit- ing and planning photos for the newspaper. He was an intern at The your own struggles really are." The photographs of Red were among those that Weatherwax submitted for the contest.

His Saturday feature package, "Coping with Parkinson's," about Jasper resident Dennis "Red" Keusch's daily battles with Parkinson's disease, remains one of Weatherwax's personal favorites. The story, published April 30, 2011, was intended to be a straightforward pro- file but took an unexpected turn when Red suffered a debilitating fall, complica- tions of which led to his death. "I loved that story, working on that story, because it gave me a chance to spend time with Red," Weatherwax said. "It reminds you how minimal of the competition was open to photographers at any newspaper with a circula- tion of less than 100,000. The Herald's circulation is 11,500. Having his name men- tioned alongside other expert photographers was humbling, Weatherwax said. "At the same time it's not just about, you know, myself or what I did as a photojour- nalist," he said. "The best thing about what we do is that it takes community par- ticipation." award belongs as much to The Herald, its readers and those residents who allow themselves to be photo- graphed as it does to him.
