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.

Broadway Hill snow 1961

Jan. 26, 1961 Southeast Missourian

Ice-coated and snowy inclines received attention early today. Here Cape street department crews apply cinders to Broadway, looking east from Lorimier street, while traffic inches up the hill behind the work truck. About three inches of snow fell. The river is seen in the center background. (G.D. Fronabarger photo)

Don't see too many old international pickup trucks around anymore.
