(Paul Kuehnel) A picture is worth a thousand words and sometimes a detail photo can be just words. It’s always a challenge each year to illustrate hunting stories when assigned to the butcher shop. This photo rolled up just as the butcher sliced into the side of a deer spilling out at least a gallon of infected green puss. The experienced butcher said, “this is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen.” I was happy to find a second photo to compliment my main (sanitized) photo of individual deer heads wrapped in a plastic garbage bags packed in barrels to illustrate a story about testing for Chronic Wasting Disease.
Myra Latif watches her granddaughter four days a week while her daughter is in school. Today, that meant bringing 2-year-old Zariah Casey to a new transitional housing program for homeless men in York. I was there to photograph the women in charge and their interaction with the men.

It’s a reflection of society as a whole and not to their passion. We don’t wear hats and gloves to formal events. We are a more casual society. A photographer must look harder beyond the show of metals and cloth to the subtle moments of body language of the heroes who now blend into the crowd.with VIDEO
Election night in a newsroom has it’s own unique pace. You come in late (say 3 pm) and check out the early photos from the day at the polls. Then there’s usually a late news meeting (5:45 pm this year). You get some pizza and discuss the upcoming evening with the photographers as they [...]
Every month, a photographer works on a photo-centric story for the Living section. There are 12 months and four photographers, which means each of us does at least three of these visual-heavy stories a year. For last November’s gallery, I shot a football story by covering many aspects of a single West York football game. [...]
The day before yesterday’s election mania, editor Eileen emailed us photographers a run-down of what she expected from us. Among other things, she asked me, “What video can you do that will still have legs tomorrow?” “Tomorrow” being, the day after election day. I was stumped.
