One of his favorite stories was when they were covering an event that Margaret Bourke-White was assigned by LIFE to photograph. She came in with her assistants and they lit the place with lots of flashbulbs rigged everywhere. My boss and several of the other local photographers just put their speed graphics on tripods, opened the shutter on bulb when Ms. Bourke-White was ready to make her exposure and of course scooped her cause they were on daily deadlines and she wasn't. - -- Carl Socolow http://members.tripod.com/SocPhoto/
