They don't even make days that long any more!!>>>>> Donal, me old son, It was easier then! :) We started like it was an office job, sure there were some "emergency fire days" and nights, but on the whole as newspaper photographers we started at 8 a.m. and usually were done our shift at 5 or 6. The really long hours started when I became a freelance independent businessman photographer! I didn't know anything about business, so ended-up working long hours trying to earn money taking pictures! 40 years later I'm still working long hours and still broke trying to earn money from taking pictures. Business part of this is a bummer! :) But those 10-12 hour shooting days are positive things, they keep you in shape, beats the hell out of exercising! :) ted
