I've got the cover of the Mecklenburg Times this week. It's the weekly business paper here.
Photo is of a guy watching his business assets being auctioned off after declaring bankruptcy. The look on his face really tells the story of what's going on with the economy. The editor said it really was quite powerful. I've had the cover before--but always with a carefully scripted and precisely posed photo.
It was a slightly odd experience to make the image. It felt good to tell a story that will humanize the struggle of working folks in this economy. Still it sucks.
You can see the lead image (the paper ran several photos on interior pages) and read the article here.
