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.

That has to be the old Leming Hall to the west of Kent?? Was there a girls' dorm to the direct east of Kent (replaced by Dearmont) at the time of this picture?
