Was your editor a photo editor or a managing editor who thought he knew something about photojournalism. Many newspaper PJs have been fired for thinking anything goes.>> Lloyd, Well, the paper wasn't the New York Times. It was one of those afternoon papers that subsisted on stock market reports, baseball scores, racing results, store ads, and movie schedules. While we didn't always run photos of scantily clad ladies on page 3, we did on most days. Any picture that ran on the front page had to have enough shock appeal to get the commuter to grab it off the rack instead of one of our several competitors. Of course that was back before TV and cable. People actually had to buy a newspaper to get the news. Our city had four daily papers, some publishing both morning and afternoon editions. And I did use a Speed Graphic. Larry Z - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
