For Tim Rahn, fishing called him to the island chain, and he has lived in Lower Matecumbe for over 25 years. While fishing was in his blood, the photography part came a little bit later — and by accident. As a lifelong fisherman, Rahn always had his camera ready to capture the fish he reeled in.Rahn, by his own admission, is an old-school kind of guy and not fond of technology. This is a boon for the collector because his photography uses an old-school technique called silver halide. The process of using silver halide started over 150 years ago and is the best way to capture high-quality photographic detail. Silver halide prints are exposed using light instead of ink, digital files instead of film negatives, and a printer instead of a darkroom. His limited edition finished silver halide artwork is then mounted to acrylic with a French cleat.

WEINSTOCK SIGNS WITH NORTH CAROLINA’S BARTON COLLEGE

Coral Shores’ record-setting goalkeeper Kaiden Weinstock recently signed an athletic scholarship to continue his soccer career at Barton College in Wilson, North Carolina.

Last season, Weinstock had 217 saves, setting a school record for most saves in a single season. On top of receiving the most valuable player award this year, he was named to the all-county team two consecutive years. He also earned the 2023 captains award, 2022 outstanding goalkeeper award and 2020 jayvee goalkeeper of the year.

Weinstock, who signed his scholarship alongside family and school officials, said he had an experience like no other at Coral Shores.

“My freshman year I was overweight and didn’t make the varsity team. During my sophomore year, I lost 30 pounds and was under two senior goalkeepers,” he said. “My junior year I grew and earned the starting position making the all-county team for the first time. My senior year, my best year, I was a captain and led our team to a district final.” Weinstock added that he always wanted to play college soccer since playing goalkeeper at 9 years old. He recalls his dad telling him about his time at Boston University and FIU, which served as inspiration to the young goalkeeper to follow the family footsteps.

“I am very excited to move up to North Carolina and play in one of the most competitive conferences in Division 2 soccer, Conference Carolinas,” he said.

Weinstock thanked coaches Joe Massi and Ron Garces for helping him develop goalkeeping skills over the past four years. He also commended coaches Jorge Bosque and Andres Herrera for giving him the captain title this season.

“I would like to thank my mom for being a true soccer mom and always helping out with everything for both the team and myself. Lastly, I would like to thank my dad for teaching me almost everything I know and always believing in me even when I doubted myself,” Weinstock said.

Parents Jeff and Laura Weinstock said their son did some soul-searching and told them that the soccer journey isn’t over.

“He wanted the accolade of playing at the next level and he pursued that goal until it became his reality,” the Weinstocks said. ”He is looking forward to reaching his full potential with Barton College.”

Bosque, Hurricanes boys varsity soccer coach, said Weinstock worked hard to elevate his game to the college level.

“We’re all tremendously proud of his accomplishments. Barton is getting an outstanding goalie and an excellent young man as well,” he said.
