STORY:
On May 5, 2011, Fox News hosted the first GOP presidential debate at the Peace Center in Greenville, SC. The event was scrutinized for not having more well known candidates participate in the debate. Fox News did not allow media into the debate hall itself; however there were several events in Greenville relating to the debate including tea party rallies and protests.

ReplyDeleteThis is one of those stories where the events surrounding the event are more interesting than the event itself. Good job by the photographer to look around and see what was happening. Curious about the decision to go black and white over color. Too much red, white and blue? A few good moments in here with some good framing and use of available light.

A classic College World Series picture story with a pretty good narrative. Good peak action, use of light, sense of place, moments. Overall the story could use some cropping (or was shot too loose). This is the case with the ending photo of the pile. There are not enough streamers to make this photo read well that loose.

This is a sad and heartwarming story. But I never really get to know the dog. Many of the photos are shot at a similar focal length and from the same subject to camera distance. The photos are all shot from the perspective of the photographer, not the dog. The body language of the dog without the cart is enough to break your heart. This story could have been so much richer and about the relationship between man and best friend. Instead it feels more like a process story.
