Boston, May, We Will Finish the Race

Photographed by Mitch Feinberg

"After the marathon bombings, we wanted to be the magazine the city deserved and needed at that moment. The marathon was just four days before our ship date, but we scratched our cover and main feature and threw ourselves into honoring the runners and victims as best we could. The cover image is made up completely of shoes that ran this year’s marathon, and we were proud to tell their stories. We were even more proud that the sale of our May cover posters raised over $120,000 for the One Fund."

I chose this as my favorite photo because of the tragic events taken place at the Boston Marathon in 2013, and how it affected families across the country. I adore the gradients of the heart made of shoes, and I think it sends a very nice message, and reminds us that we are all country together. The vividness of the cover was definitely something that made me chose it, and made it stand out from the rest of the covers.
