The day I discovered I'm not a photojournalist

Sorry I missed this post until now.

Anyway.

I've worked with journalist-photographers regularly. My family are print journalists of the writer variety, but there are always odd jobs for people interested in photography at the same offices. I can tell stories about sideline events at major sports spectaculars, and about the first digital cameras (came with hard drive! as big as a VCR!), and about how quick the Pulitzer winners in photography are at Space Invaders. Lots o' fun.

Space Invaders? Absolutely: PRIVATE Space Invaders.

"Photojournalists"? Nothing more than a fancy name for paparazzi, all of them to the last one.

(Ah, I feel better! Hadn't vented off like this for days! Thank you for the opportunity, Final Identity. I love to hate you.)
