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.

Dec. 21, 1960 Southeast Missourian

Santa with his filled pack and "fillings" for the next round, which will include Caramel Nut Logs, are shown here. Santa is John Rauh, and Mrs. Rauh is the artist with the needle, and the candy maker who turns out all of the niceties that go to their friends at each Yuletide season. (G.D. Fronabarger photo)

Santa looked a little strange in that era, but the kids in Illmo-Scott City didn't mind.
