New photojournalist ready to capture the community

The Daily Astorian has found its new photographer.

Danny Miller, 23, stepped into the position Monday, taking over from Joshua Bessex, who took a job with the News Tribune Co. in Tacoma, Washington.

Born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, Miller graduated in June from Western Washington University. Though he began his college career not knowing what he wanted to do professionally, he found himself taking journalism classes, including a class in photojournalism, and “just fell in love with it.”
