The top 3 stories; “The Star Who Fell, “Erik’s Heroes,” and “The Notes,” were all very close in our opinion. In fact if we were to give grades they would be an “A+,” an “A,” and an “A-”. After much discussion we felt “The Notes” deserved the nod. The photographer and the reporter had a great approach to the story. Love stories are, in our opinion, extremely difficult to convey. And this story had only the wife to convey the love. The reason why these 3 stories were the best in our opinion, the photography brought us into the story. All gave us the sense we were right there following along. Each photographer in these 3 stories had outstanding interviews. I highly suggest checking them out if you can. “The Notes” took us on a fabulous journey with a great payoff moment. A kind of thanks for waiting around, here’s why you’ve been waiting around. We are glad to have had the chance to watch these stories. A three-way tie could’ve been easily decided. But, in the end we decided “The Notes” had just a slight edge.
