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.

Plansifter Mill was built by George Thilenius in the 400 block of Broadway in 1866. Flour from this mill won the "Medal of Merit" at the Vienna World's Fair and first prize at the Philadelphia Exposition in 1876. Later, Stein and Lance Mill operated at the location.

It was located on the west side of the Himmelberger-Harrison building, Broadway and Fountain St.
