Firefighters battle a May 25 car fire in Exeter, N.H. The fire proved to be stubborn because fuel from the gas tank kept reigniting the flames. Sandy Macys

Tony Roberts plants cucumbers along weed prevention strips at Lagarre Farm Market in Calais, Vt., May 1 at the start of the spring planting season.
How I got the picture
Katz:
"Fellow photographer Bob DeLong and I were covering the Bucksport fire. I
arrived on the scene as more or less back-up. Bob had already covered the
event fully so I was looking for a slightly different approach.
"I waited several hours and once things began to die down a bit, I skirted into the
woods in hopes of making a more ethereal image of the firefighters lurking
through the smoke in search of hotspots.
"My patience, and an understanding photo-editor, Scott Haskell, paid off, and after wondering through the woods for nearly an hour I made what I felt were some compelling images of the
aftermath of the blaze."
