ONE THAT ALMOST GOT AWAY Final Edit IN HOT WATER Sour Harvest An incoming hurricane might at first seem a powerful photo subject. But how is a photojournal ist to make a decent still image when it's dark out side, when people are hiding, and when the main subjects are howling wind and spraying water? "That's why hurricane photography generally documents the aftermath," says illustrations editor Kurt Mutchler. Downed trees and building rubble are mainstays of the genre. But this image of green grapefruits blown off branches in a Florida citrus grove was different enough to catch Mutchler's eye. It also explains a shortage at his neighborhood grocery store: "This is why I couldn't find much produce from Florida a few weeks later," he says. "This photo illustrates the long economic reach of a hurricane, and it's one I wish we'd had room for in the article."
