Judges Comments Below: |
|
|
|
Judge Ernesto
Torres said:
“The second place ‘Hurricane Katrina 28 foot storm surge’
story was also captured very well considering how dangerous
things where during the height of the Hurricane". |
|
|
|
Judge Ray Meints
said:
“Second place, the story ‘Katrina 28 Foot Storm Surge,’ you
have to give the photographer credit for riding out the
hurricane. One of the few entries submitted that had actual
Katrina storm footage. Once again another life and death
situation, where the photographer kept the camera rolling,
captured the storm, and thankfully lived to tell about it". |
|
|
|
Judge Lou Davis
said:
“The top two risked their lives. They had moments that
‘lived’ on tape and gave us the experience of ‘being there.’
They had “immediacy” with sound bites that communicated in
the “active” tense of our language". |
