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.

Thank you so much Fred for posting a bit of Cape Girardeau history that was a part of my family. The trolley track in backguard was a true part of Broadway and Cape Girardeau history. Keep those memories coming. Suzanne Suedekum Vaughn
