Seattle Times Pictures of the Year 2010

May 17: Mount Si first-baseman Brielle Buhner, a senior, clowns around with her dad, former Seattle Mariners star Jay Buhner, before a game against Mercer Island. After five knee surgeries, starting when she was 13, Buhner flourished in her first full healthy season, hitting .473 with six doubles, five triples, two home runs and 19 RBI in the regular season. "Jay Buhner has a great relationship with daughter Brielle, which I captured before the start of softball game at Mount Si High School. This was intended to be a formal portrait: father standing with daughter, both holding gloves. But it was their goofing around before the photo shoot that made for the better image. I had to be on my toes for an unexpected moment that turned out to be our lede photo." - Steve Ringman
