Shooting in a Spray

Chris Gregory put together the video below that takes a short look at shooting on Capital Hill now. I did this sort of work in the early 1990s for a technology newspaper – it is way different now. I had a weekly deadline, not an hourly one. Most of the things I was shooting had, maybe, one other shooter there....

The New York Times’ Lens blog has a post up looking at the work of Los Angeles-based photographer Thomas Michael Alleman who has been wandering his home town’s streets with a plastic Holga camera for the last nine years.

As a news photographer in the late 1990s, I worked for my hometown paper, a paper that, at the time, boasted some of the best shooters in New England. Getting to work alongside Shannon McHugh-Power, Eddie Hopfmann and Paul...
