It has always been that way and always will be and has nothing to do with
photojournalism.

There are "slow days" in the news business as they're referred to and simple
things make the news. It's a no brainer day and journalists hate them as
much as the slow day stories they "have to dig up to earn their pay."

And I'm sure in the legal profession there are "slow day cases" that don't
mean anything but you have to earn your keep, so you take them on?  But then
again?

Slow days, fast days, as long as I've a Leica and film it's cool a day! ;-)
