Fred Lynch retired in 2018 after capturing images for the Southeast Missourian since 1975, in that time moving from black-and-white to color, from film to digital and to video. The blog title is a nod to an earlier era of news photography and the 4x5 Speed Graphic: It's more important to be there for the shot than to worry about technical details.

Snow on Broadway

Jan. 19, 1956 Southeast Missourian

This picture needed no touching up. The setting on Broadway was ideal this morning if one wanted a winter photo. The autos served well to set off the seven inches of snowfall, most of it coming late Wednesday. (G.D. Fronabarger photo)

Or, if you'd rather see ice, here's the ice storm that blew in quickly (and melted quickly) in February 2013.
