Why We Love Your Shot(s)
Posted Jun 30,2009

Congratulations! The Your Shot special issue hit newsstands today (June 30). We may have done the editing, writing and design, but you took the pictures—101 of our favorite photographs submitted by readers since Your Shot debuted in March 2006.

How did we pick the pics we picked? There's no magic formula. Personally, I'm drawn to images that make me feel something, be it joy, sorrow, suprise or wonder. So that's how I structured the issue: four chapters, four emotions. The selection process took months, but for photo editor Susan Welchman and I, it was worth every moment. These two videos explain why:

1. Susan and I describe why we love editing Your Shot.

2. Susan and I share some favorite images from more than 100,000 Your Shot submissions.

Great stuff. Love the music, the riveting images, the tempo, the process banter, your own body language........the whole is perfect and alive, nothing could be added or taken away.

I went through it twice and will revisit it many times, as well as enjoying sharing it with my friends.

And, I am going out to buy a copy. Congratulations!
