Besides, if more newspapers had that attitude, you woudln't see those hordes of photographers harassing politicians and stars, and victims of storms and disasters. "The wire will cover it" attitude would make for better "real" pictures from far afield because the photographers who are there won't be dodging other large groups of photographers. And local coverage would be better because the best photographers would be covering the county fair, not the guy left behind. >(Why did you lump New York in with Bosnia, isn't New York more dangerous >than Bosnia?) Why sure, that's why I put New York first. The Mayor of New York is more hostile to photographers than almost any other dictator in the world! <G> ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Give me ambiguity or give me something else.
