PHOTO OF THE WEEK

THOUGHTS FROM THE SCENE: Graduations are always good photo

opportunities. Someone is always going to try to be funny or be overjoyed

with emotion. But Daily Pilot photographer Greg Fry was able to witness a

moment that you don’t often find. This picture of Elliott McKenzie

hugging his uncle after declaring that he achieved his diploma from Back

Bay High School in honor of his deceased father, on what would have been

his father’s birthday, really hit home. Capturing moments like this on

film test your emotions. You feel like you’re right there, you feel his

pain, and you feel his overwhelming sense of accomplishment.
