smart work

So, I might be a little behind with posting. At the University of Washington football game last Saturday, the star quarterback was hurt. A photo of that was the cover of the next day's paper. So, in the middle of the week, we learned that the quarterback was out for the season because of the injury. I think many times photographers get caught up in an event and just focus on the immediate needs of the paper. I was definitely guilty of that at times. Now, as an editor, I think it is great to work with photographers that really think of events and see not only at the current needs, but also take into account the future needs the paper will have. And that is exactly what this photographer did. These pictures didn't run right away, but they saved us later in the week when the story continued. Very smart shooting...
