University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications alumnus Andy Newman, B.S. Advertising 1977, has been shooting the Seven Mile Bridge Run in Marathon, Fla. for 32 years.  This year, two of his photos from the race were chosen by the Associated Press to include in their “APTOPIX” for April 9.

Newman, who is senior vice president at NewmanPR, shoots the race from a helicopter.

“I am gratified that the Associated Press chose these two images,” Newman said. “It’s an accolade not taken lightly as there is much competition from news shooters around the world. In my opinion, the Seven Mile Bridge Run is among the most iconic and visual events in the Florida Keys.”
