big shout-out to everyone who submitted photos for this year’s game of Capture the Flag! Every June, the Crown City Photography Group sets out on a mission to find and snap photos of our country’s flag around town. Aside from being tons of fun for the whole community, everyone’s photos get the chance to be published in Crown City Magazine during the year. Throughout the year, the group is presented with a variety of different opportunities and fun ideas for photographers. The group is also invited to enter the Best of Coronado Photo Contest in January and the SURF Photo Contest each Spring. One of my greatest memories of this group was in March of 2020, during the start of the pandemic and stay-at-home order. The Coronado Police Department graciously issued official press badges, giving our photographers exclusive access to the beach when it was closed to the public so they could capture the bioluminescence. When we published a photo by Katie Karosich of the water aglow, it brought such joy to readers stuck at home, making this experience well worth our efforts. As a community, I’m proud of how we’ve pulled together to support, care for, and uplift each other through challenges, especially during the darkest and scariest of times.
