Daryn Slover

Sun Journal

Daryn grew up fishing on Lake Erie near Cleveland. He started taking pictures while working as a stock boy in a camera store during high school. His camera took him to the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, where he worked for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Daryn continued his education at Ohio University before landing his first newspaper job at the News Herald in Port Clinton, Ohio. He joined the Sun Journal staff in 1998 shortly after the Maine Ice Storm. Daryn's favorite photo assignments are to take pictures of people that are passionate about something he knows nothing about. Daryn lives in Lewiston with his wife and two sons. He spends his time tuning his kid's race skis and fixing their mountain bikes before race weekends.
