    1. I wrote about the Boston Marathon because it was such a traggic event.
    2. I didnt have much difficulty since the main part of this post was in a link to an interview
    3. I wanted the audience to be imforemed by the experince that this photographer had. Of course there is sadness within this traggic event.

    What else did you want the audience to know about? It is great that you include the link to the interview with this photographer as it is so important for people to recognize that there is a person behind the camera that is seeing all of this unfold. Well done including that.
