Photography

"What I have tried to give you are the less tangible facets of press photography . . . things that can't be figured with a slide rule, formula or manual of instructions. Keep them in mind. When you become a working newspaper cameraman, you may find them useful."

John Gorman ~ "So You Want to Be a Press Photographer"
Photography Magazine, 1953
