In Their Shoes: How the cover of the May issue of Boston Magazine came to be

Go here for the heartwarming story behind the Boston Magazine cover.   Here's a taste:

To me the cover is about two things: perseverance and unity. By itself, each shoe in the photograph is tiny, battered, and ordinary. Together, though, they create something beautiful, powerful, and inspirational. Remove just one shoe and you begin to diminish, in some small way, the overall effect. Collectively, they are the perfect symbol for Boston, and for our response to the bombings.

Thanks, Chelsea!  bk
