A little bragging


Less than a year after joining the newspaper world full time, part of the editorial team (the editor and I) won a 2006 Metroland Editorial Excellence Award for best front page in our category. It was a pretty exciting way to kick off my time at that job. Just shy of five years later, not even a few months after leaving that job for a new adventure, I received an email from the managing editor: I had won two 2010 Metroland Editorial Excellence Awards. What thrilling news -- too bad I was at my desk at the new job with no one to tell who would really appreciate what it means to me. Nonetheless, I felt pure glee reading over the list of results: First place for best photo layout and second place for best news story. Since this blog is more about images, here is a look at the layout that bagged that award for me.
