Today, one of my videographers, my esteemed colleague shot his final story, at least for WKYC.
Mike Harris, seen in this photo with Health Anchor Monica Robins and Special Projects Producer Susan Moses, is moving on to the next phase of his career.
He is heading across the street to run the whole show.
Instead of going out to shoot the stories, he will be leading the charge for everyone who shoots and edits the stories. It is a wonderful advancement for his career! He has been a rock of Gibraltar while here at WKYC. He is a jack of all trades. Excellent videographer, editor, satellite truck operator, macgyver, and on and on!
He always found himself in the thick of things because of his talent, his energy, enthusiasm, and willingness to do anything and try anything once!
All of his experience in the field has lead him to this next chapter in his life.
When Mike was on the case, covering a story, trucking a live shot, flying in Chopper 3, or traveling on the road, we were in good hands.
He'd be the first one to shoot back a photo from his cell phone the minute he arrived on a breaking news scene.
Or shoot back a photo even if it was not breaking news. He found pleasure in taunting me with this picture from Fenway Park during the 2007 Playoffs! Actually, he knew he'd make me smile knowing my love of baseball and Boston. He was just including me in the 'playoff fever!'
It is definitely not good bye, but good luck, my man!
