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.

Wanna buy a wildebeest?

A $3 visitor pass was sold for the first time at the auction and a free shuttle bus was running from Cape Girardeau motels to the 5-H Ranch.

"These are just some ways to generate some local interest and a little bit of revenue," said Maxine Hale.

She and her husband, Dave, hosted the auction twice a year.
