It is a modification of a motto from the early days of press photography,
when you needed three hands and big pockets to use a Speed Graphic.
:
"f.6" set your Speed Graphic lens at 5.6 so you have some depth of field
when you estimate the distance.

"and be there" be at the scene of the action; otherwise you can't get a
fast shot.
