foundations

This was a difficult story to illustrate. No question. An in-depth story about athletes and the foundations--some of them not currently in existence. And they were all over the country. This was story our writers started months ago and that we treid to piece along as the story developed. It ended up being a five day project. Luckily, a local major athlete was featured on each day-which made it simplier to have a lead image.

Our photographer did a really nice job with the portraits under difficult circumstances. Trying to get 5 big-time athletes is a feat in itself---but with limited time with some of them, like 3 minutes, he made them all look relatively the same, which helped the story carry over the five day period. It worked out nicely.









This is one that was tough. The story was suppose to run in the a section for all five days---but it jumped from the a1 cover to the sports cover half-way through. And then it became a secondary on the last day, which was unfortunate, especially since there was no significant breaking news that caused it.
