    Krystal restaurant in Decatur, Ala., reopens after double murder

    By Rich Shulman

    I really love it when a photographer gives his editor the choice between a literal and a non-literal image. Photographer Cary Cosby covered the emotional reopening of a fast food restaurant after a double murder. He shot all the straight pictures, but also captured this complex image of sad faces reflected in the window of the restaurant. Which of these two pictures do you think works best? See all of Cosby's images here.

    Krystal Restaurant reopened Tuesday, Aug. 29 in Decatur, Ala., with a somber ceremony involving civic leaders and restaurant officials with family members present. Killed in the robbery August 24 were night shift manager Jeff Graff, 49, and employee Jessie Aguilar, 23. Three people have been charged in the murders, two of whom worked for Krystal. The shooter, Jordaan Creque, worked on the shift wtih Graff and Aguilar. Many faces of people attending the reopening are reflected in the plate glass windows of the restaurant.
