Sometimes the realities of tight space and newspaper layout mean you have to leave good pictures on the cutting room floor. Unless you just decided to pick them up off the cutting room floor and use them one week later. Also, does anyone have an actual cutting room? We’ve just been using the laundry room.
Anyway, as you can imagine, we had tons – probably somewhere in the bajillions – of great pictures from Matt and Luke Bonner’s tour of Concord with the NBA championship trophy. But they didn’t all fit last week, so we carved out a little room for some additional shots in this issue. You can thank us later.
We figured if there was ever an assignment to spread out over multiple issues, it was this one. Frankly, we’re just super appreciative of the fact that Luke was kind enough to invite us along. It was the kind of experience you may only have once in a lifetime, no matter how many issues of the paper you put it in.
