“I love being a part of photojournalism,” he told News Photographer magazine, somewhat overcome emotionally by the news of his win. “I love what I do and I believe in what we do. It’s been a long road to this point.”

What Taylor means by that is that he is deeply able to empathize with the subjects of “The Thin Line,” his economic story.

“I was laid off in 2005 (from the Herald-Sun in Durham, NC) and unemployed for 15 months. Nobody was hiring me and I was really scared that I’d never get to be a part of this again.” It was the beginning of the big wave of layoffs across American newspapers. Taylor was eventually hired by The Hartford Courant, and then two-and-a-half years ago he joined The Virginian-Pilot staff.
