Interesting. I taught a photojournalism class at SMU that was really a gimme class for athletes. I covered Mustang games and Cowboy games, also. This was in the mid-sixties and I used a Speed Graphic with a Sport Finder.
During a Navy-SMU game, I was on the sideline as a passing play came right at me. Fiddling around with the focus knob, I looked up to find a receiver about to plow into me. I started to back peddle but there was some dude right behind me.
The receiver clobbered us. Funny thing was, with all the padding and crash gear the Navy player was wearing, it didn’t hurt a bit.
Here's one of Hitler's paintings. Creeps me out. That isn't actually Rudolf Hess at the table but it sure looks like him.
Speed graphic is OLD school. My Dad used one of those as an Army photographer in Korea.
I shot with film for several years before switching to digital.
