Two Milestones

ROAD20060409BW.jpg

This day sees not only the one hundredth Daily Photo I've shot - so far - this year, it also marks the ten year anniversary of that "inside the local section black and white photo thing" as many readers call it.

That's right, before there was a Daily Photo on my blog there was (and still is) a ROAD20080409bb.jpgWeekly Photo in the newspaper. The City Life photo made its inaugural appearance on a Thursday, on page B-2 in the City Edition of the Inquirer on April 9, 1998 (it's since morphed into Scene on the Street, and appears in all editions of the paper, still inside the B-Section, now on Mondays). Click on the montage above to see a slide show with color versions of some highlights (it's a straightforward contact sheet - no need to squint as in a previous montage - to see the overall image formed by all the tiny ones. These don't do anything but just sit there).

Bush’s road to the White House to his Pulitzer Prize-winning photo essay of homeless people in the city.

For his photo essay on Philadelphia’s homeless, he was awarded both the Pulitzer Prize and the Robert F. Kennedy Award. During the first Gulf War, he was the photo editor in Saudi Arabia for all newspaper photographers embedded with U.S. military units.
