This reminds me of a story related to me by our Nikon rep...  He was at
a  "compition" for photojournalists in Richmond, VA.  They brought in
some bigwig from the left coast to judge the thing.  Aparantly, you
could have heard a pin drop when it was announced that there were no
winners!  The judge remarked that it looked like everyone let their
motordrives go, and hoped they got a shot.  They managed to put images
on film but there wasn't a good photo in the lot...
     If you're looking for decent doc photography, check out a magaine
called "doubletake".  I believe it's published by Duke (?) department of
documentary studies...or something like that...:-)
