I met a professional photographer just back from a Hockey game. We talked about his tools - a digital camera. He showed some of his work that night and then pointed to some amazing photographs that were on the wall. I believe it is a town called Trappe on Ridge Pike.
Take a close look at the base runner charging home plate(maybe McGuire) and the catcher. Look in the eyes of that catcher who knows he is about to be clombered - the fear in his eyes that obvious. But then the photographer said look closer - no one is touching the ground.
Onward to his recent Kodak trip. After the news conference, the Pres of Kodak stepped down to talk to photographers. All used Fuji film. He asked why and was told what the photographers had been saying for years. News magazines don't want accurate color. They want pictures with the colors exaggerated. Kodak did not yet make any such film and had no future plans to make it.
Funny thing about east coast companies (ie. the near bankrupt Xerox, AT&T, etc). They can be told straight faced from the people who come from where the work gets done, and still not see the colors properly.
Interesting pictures this man portrayed.
