I was always "VERY PROUD" of being called and calling myself a... "NEWS-PHOTOGRAPHER"! I saw and felt it was a kind of badge of honour to be called one for quite a number of years and working for and being paid by the "NEWSPAPER!"  YOU BELONGED TO A NEWS ORGANIZATION AND WERE BEING PAID FOR WORKING AS A NEWS PHOTOGRAPHER!!   

When I was photographing in the inner city during the mid sixties
the kids commonly referred to me as "picher man."
Which I considered quite perfect.
