I became one of the first journalists in the area to use drones, and now, that work has been celebrated and seen around the world.

This move was not caused by my fear of earthquakes but my fear of not having a career in the vocation I adored. Family in tow we trekked cross country, on a plane, and landed at The Tampa Tribune. I am lucky to be one of the few who were plucked by the Tampa Bay Times after the purchase of the Tribune in 2016. My family and I have grown to love the Tampa Bay area. We spend off times floating on the intercostal and biking along the Pinellas Trail. I am extremely passionate about photojournalism and a strong advocate of photojournalism ethics. When asked, I tell people I am just a SoCal expat attempting to live the Florida lifestyle and I make visuals awesome.","fuzzy_match":false,"author_type":"Times Staff Photographer","firstName":"Chris","books":[],"podcasts":[],"awards":[],"custom_phone":"‪727-487-2449‬","_id":"chris-urso","status":true}},"type":"author","version":"0.5.8","url":"","slug":"chris-urso"}]},"subtype":"default","first_publish_date":"2025-02-15T03:38:55.773Z","additional_properties":{"is_published":true,"clipboard":{},"publish_date":"2025-02-15T04:06:55.877Z","has_published_copy":true},"last_updated_date":"2025-02-15T05:19:10.443Z","publishing":{"scheduled_operations":{"unpublish_edition":[],"publish_edition":[]}},"slug":"photos_sp_messi021525","owner":{"sponsored":false,"id":"tbt"},"address":{},"workflow":{"note":"","status_code":1},"label":{},"promo_items":{"basic":{"owner":{"sponsored":false,"id":"tbt"},"copyright":"Tampa Bay Times","address":{"locality":"Tampa","region":"FL"},"syndication":{"search":"true","external_distribution":"true"},"auth":{"1":"d3efc2b9bf4637de2a51fe3ba686d418bd1996c8cd1727c65217d981b304ca33"},"caption":"Inter Miami’s Lionel Messi, left, smiles at Orlando City’s Cesar Araujo during a break in play in the first half of Friday's exhibition game at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa.","source":{"system":"photo center","name":"Tampa Bay Times","edit_url":"","source_type":"staff","additional_properties":{"editor":"photo center"}},"taxonomy":{},"type":"image","distributor":{"mode":"reference","reference_id":"d332c6a3-8c2f-4fce-9507-0fdc0e6cdd96"},"version":"0.10.9","focal_point":{"x":1249,"y":853},"url":"https://cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/tbt/BUTCY76MTNEFFF2KJKWA5XYSPI.JPG","licensable":true,"credits":{"affiliation":[{"name":"Times","type":"author"}],"by":[{"name":"CHRIS URSO","type":"author","byline":"CHRIS URSO"}]},"subtitle":"","width":3242,"_id":"BUTCY76MTNEFFF2KJKWA5XYSPI","additional_properties":{"fullSizeResizeUrl":"/resizer/JSl2LGw_PxAJz7QkYLhBBXf2aTo=/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-tbt/public/BUTCY76MTNEFFF2KJKWA5XYSPI.JPG","owner":"curso@tampabay.com","iptc_source":"Tampa Bay Times","proxyUrl":"/resizer/JSl2LGw_PxAJz7QkYLhBBXf2aTo=/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-tbt/public/BUTCY76MTNEFFF2KJKWA5XYSPI.JPG","takenOn":"2025-02-15T01:07:22Z","originalUrl":"https://cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/tbt/BUTCY76MTNEFFF2KJKWA5XYSPI.JPG","published":true,"resizeUrl":"/resizer/JSl2LGw_PxAJz7QkYLhBBXf2aTo=/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-tbt/public/BUTCY76MTNEFFF2KJKWA5XYSPI.JPG","ingestionMethod":"manual","thumbnailResizeUrl":"/resizer/VxVjCY-PafnrPoNhMMhFyTgoaa0=/300x0/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-tbt/public/BUTCY76MTNEFFF2KJKWA5XYSPI.JPG","version":1,"focal_point":{"min":[1249,853],"max":[1249,853]},"originalName":"434063_urso_11_sp_messi021525.JPG","mime_type":"image/jpeg","restricted":false,"template_id":465,"galleries":[],"iptc_title":"Staff Photographer"},"created_date":"2025-02-15T03:32:35Z","last_updated_date":"2025-02-15T03:34:35Z","slug":"434063_urso_sp_messi021525","height":2239,"image_type":"photograph","resized_urls":{"original":"https://cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/tbt/BUTCY76MTNEFFF2KJKWA5XYSPI.JPG","smartnews_400x400":"https://www.tampabay.com/resizer/K2bngP0WMGIpjwD5FTrbHCgKcKs=/400x400/filters:focal(1244x858:1254x848)/cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/tbt/BUTCY76MTNEFFF2KJKWA5XYSPI.JPG","image1x1ratio":"https://www.tampabay.com/resizer/Cmj0Z9niJ3f_5z5A_H5VCL_k-ZE=/1200x1200/filters:focal(1244x858:1254x848)/cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/tbt/BUTCY76MTNEFFF2KJKWA5XYSPI.JPG","image4x3ratio":"https://www.tampabay.com/resizer/wBIXJ0jvfBa978AOD-9DcU8Pa0w=/1200x900/filters:focal(1244x858:1254x848)/cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/tbt/BUTCY76MTNEFFF2KJKWA5XYSPI.JPG","image16x9ratio":"https://www.tampabay.com/resizer/TPgvzrPQ3upNj8FppwVNH5Bd-98=/1200x675/filters:focal(1244x858:1254x848)/cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/tbt/BUTCY76MTNEFFF2KJKWA5XYSPI.JPG"}}},"canonical_url":"/photos/2025/02/14/photos-messi-inter-miami-face-orlando-city-exhibition-tampa/","distributor":{"name":"tbt","category":"staff","subcategory":""},"version":"0.10.10","canonical_website":"tbt","revision":{"editions":["default"],"user_id":"fpastor@tampabay.com","parent_id":"MU62M3P4URFVPLMZPNVOFY537U","published":true,"branch":"default","revision_id":"LK3RDLPWIZFYBJKRBH3X3F2B7U"},"planning":{"budget_line":"Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano said earlier this week that he plans to give Messi and the team’s other starters “as many minutes as possible” in its final preseason match, which starts at 7:30 p.m. Inter Miami opens the CONCACAF Champions Cup Tuesday at Sporting Kansas City.

When I’m not writing about food or restaurants I’m probably talking about food or restaurants, or, you know, actually eating food at restaurants. I was never a picky eater, and never had a chance to be: Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, saying ‘no’ to things like geoduck sashimi or fiddlehead fern pesto just wasn’t cool. Instead, I tried everything, and have ever since. I studied journalism at the University of Washington and cooking at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris. I most recently was the restaurant critic and dining editor of Gambit Weekly in New Orleans - another place where people love to eat and drink. When I’m not eating, I’m probably scuba diving and tagging along with spearfishers, hoping they’ll spear some dinner for me.

I was inspired by the vivid stories of people from every corner of the world. It was a natural evolution that I ended up studying photojournalism at the University of Florida. I joined Times Publishing Company in 1998, and began documenting storytelling moments for our daily reports – spot news, features, sports, portraiture, food, fashion, etc. My secret (to success): stay focused on the most storytelling elements while remaining open to the unexpected. Photojournalism can also be creative, and I believe it’s my passion to create, along with my personality - adventurous, intense, tenacious, compassionate, confident, patient, curious, evolving - that inspires me to get up each day and do it all over again.","fuzzy_match":false,"author_type":"Times Staff Photographer","firstName":"Douglas","books":[],"podcasts":[],"awards":[],"middleName":"R.","_id":"douglas-clifford","status":true}},"type":"author","version":"0.5.8","url":"","slug":"douglas-r-clifford"}]},"subtype":"default","first_publish_date":"2025-02-13T19:40:53.59Z","additional_properties":{"is_published":true,"clipboard":{},"publish_date":"2025-02-13T20:48:49.662Z","has_published_copy":true},"last_updated_date":"2025-02-14T20:06:37.818Z","publishing":{"scheduled_operations":{"unpublish_edition":[],"publish_edition":[]}},"slug":"ThunderCataract","owner":{"sponsored":false,"id":"tbt"},"address":{},"workflow":{"note":"","status_code":1},"label":{},"promo_items":{"basic":{"owner":{"sponsored":false,"id":"tbt"},"copyright":"Tampa Bay Times","address":{"locality":"BRANDON","region":"FL"},"syndication":{"search":"true","external_distribution":"true"},"auth":{"1":"4c01c448af1b29861d4f0ad6c5b79839433db4bd85dcfeb999a2b4a19dd10e19"},"caption":"Veterinarian Katie Myer uses a mask to deliver inhaled anesthetic gases to Thunder the bald eagle on Thursday before her cataract surgery at Fetch Specialty and Emergency Veterinary Centers in Brandon.","source":{"system":"photo center","name":"Tampa Bay Times","edit_url":"","source_type":"staff","additional_properties":{"editor":"photo center"}},"taxonomy":{},"type":"image","distributor":{"mode":"reference","reference_id":"d332c6a3-8c2f-4fce-9507-0fdc0e6cdd96"},"version":"0.10.9","url":"https://cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/tbt/BIG6JQ4NLNDLRNU6JZFQUJAEHU.JPG","licensable":true,"credits":{"affiliation":[{"name":"Times","type":"author"}],"by":[{"name":"Douglas R.

My favorite stories explore our state's history and provide context for local oddities. I also love profiling fascinating people in our community and both photographing and reviewing concerts.

I’m a big fan of long-lost tourist attractions, oat milk lattes and film photography.

When I’m not writing about food or restaurants I’m probably talking about food or restaurants, or, you know, actually eating food at restaurants. I was never a picky eater, and never had a chance to be: Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, saying ‘no’ to things like geoduck sashimi or fiddlehead fern pesto just wasn’t cool. Instead, I tried everything, and have ever since. I studied journalism at the University of Washington and cooking at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris. I most recently was the restaurant critic and dining editor of Gambit Weekly in New Orleans - another place where people love to eat and drink. When I’m not eating, I’m probably scuba diving and tagging along with spearfishers, hoping they’ll spear some dinner for me.

When I’m not writing about food or restaurants I’m probably talking about food or restaurants, or, you know, actually eating food at restaurants. I was never a picky eater, and never had a chance to be: Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, saying ‘no’ to things like geoduck sashimi or fiddlehead fern pesto just wasn’t cool. Instead, I tried everything, and have ever since. I studied journalism at the University of Washington and cooking at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris. I most recently was the restaurant critic and dining editor of Gambit Weekly in New Orleans - another place where people love to eat and drink. When I’m not eating, I’m probably scuba diving and tagging along with spearfishers, hoping they’ll spear some dinner for me.

My favorite stories explore our state's history and provide context for local oddities. I also love profiling fascinating people in our community and both photographing and reviewing concerts. Before I joined the Tampa Bay Times as an intern on the digital team, I graduated from the University of Florida in 2018 and was a journalism fellow in Germany through the RIAS Berlin exchange program. I’m a big fan of long-lost tourist attractions, oat milk lattes and film photography.

I became one of the first journalists in the area to use drones, and now, that work has been celebrated and seen around the world.

We help you plan the things that enrich your lives, staying on top of the local dining scene and things to do around town. I started at the Times as an intern in 2010, working as a copy editor before joining our team of culture writers as a jack of all trades. I've produced video series, designed newspaper pages, managed a food section as our food editor, planned large-scale projects and more. You can catch me soaking up culture all over Tampa Bay, from orchestra shows to salsa dancing to fine dining. I'm an Orlando native, a graduate of the University of South Florida, and the proud owner of way too many pairs of boots for someone who has never lived in a state with seasons.","facebook":"http://www.facebook.com/tampabaytimesfood/","bio":"Michelle Stark is the culture editor overseeing the life and culture reporting team.
