Sartorial Forefathers


When exactly the standard dress for news photographers went from Sunday School Teacher to Roadie with a Logo I don't know -- but I sure am glad. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against a snazzy plaid sports coat, but I just can't fathom chasing ribbon-cuttings and drive-by shootings dressed like an insurance agent. So go ahead, blame the coarsening of our society for that photog who looks like he slept in his clothes. Me, I credit the guy on the left.

  1. You could also ask the question, when was the last time you saw a line of shooters with NO beer guts as in this photo of the 60's?

    Just think. Only 400 ft of VNF to shoot the story with and no live trucks.
