Pressmen (2)

Beautiful.

thanks for digging this up !

@jnanian Real as it gets

Much appreciation from a former photojournalist. Great image.

@singram You and me both, my friend. I'm still in recovery...

I used to get $250 monthly consulting fee from a magazine, just to go in and evaluate/confirm color proofs. Easy pickins'. I almost knew what color lithography was about, for which pressmen respected me. I liked those guys, photo editors and art directors feared them.

great stuff colin!
i remember i was sent by the paper once to photograph
the printing presses that printed their paper ( at like 3am ) and submitted photos of
the workers proofing the paper ( guessing that is what he is doing? ) .. my managing editor was like
" i thought these guys worked hard, they are just hanging out reading the paper"
thanks for the memories !

@jnanian Yeah, that's about the mentality one would expect from editors, these days...

Great photo, love this kind of work
