They'll run into some guy in a tilly hat and two Domke F2's and they'll say "dude, where's your PHONE? how are you going to take any PICTURES?" which actually reminds me of a serious story back during the 2000 republican election I was covering a John McCain speech and in the photo pit with the usual cast of characters, there was a woman from AOL News. She had a small point and shoot, and a laptop with a modem. Officials from the event kicked her out because her gear didn't look professional enough, despite protests from all of us that her photos were going to get seen by a lot more people, and a lot sooner, than ours. And two years ago when photographing Chelsea Clinton there was a guy next to me with a point & shoot who turned out to be from the Philadelphia Daily News. Before I got back to my house and started looking at my images, he had his photo up on the DN's web page. Times they are a-changin for sure. Did any of you get photos of the tornado in New York last night? kc On Sep 17, 2010, at 12:10 PM, slobodan Dimitrov wrote: > Very cool!
