Who needs a ladder?

[Warren Toda]

Okay, how many of you have done something like this, this or this while chasing a picture?

Ah, the life of a newspaper photographer. A look at Boston Herald photographer Leslie Jones at work in the 1930s.

Today, photographers can use a remote-controlled flying thing (a "UAV") to make aerial pictures. But when I was your age, we used these. The hard part was teaching them how to change film.

So your cute little Nikon D800 has 36 megapixels? Ha!  If you want hi-res then remember the good ol' 4x8 film camera. That's 4 feet by 8 feet.

No idea why these cameras never caught on.
