A group of children and grandchildren of Holocaust survivors gather to remember loved ones. All you have to do is ask how they are connected and stories will flow with clarity 70 years after the end of WWII.
Post by Jason Plotkin Sometimes I fall in love with an idea for a photo and the execution just doesn’t pay off. The problem is, I don’t always know it when I look at the picture. I was covering the York Revolution yesterday and had an idea to get a photo next to the pitching [...]

Lines in a photo can lead you into a photo. Lines can intersect squaring off a photo. Lines bring order to disorder and we all like order in our lives to balance out the excitement of random.

For newspaper folks, it usually means another day at work and maybe a chance to cover other people during this holy day.

A Nikon D3S with eight frames per second helps when you have about 15 seconds of action to capture.
(YORK DAILY RECORD/SUNDAY NEWS – PAUL KUEHNEL) Taking pictures of a building demolition is often pure documentation. The shock and awe of the moment, a building changing fast that has stood for decades, is often enough for an interesting picture. What I like about this picture is the majestic symmetry of architecture against a powder puff sky. A yellow claw pops out of the blue and green about the change everything.
Last Friday, I had the opportunity to photograph the first round of the PIAA state wrestling championships at the Giant Center in Hershey. Because YDR photographers were covering local wrestlers for the newspaper and GameTimePA, I had almost total freedom to wander around and shoot whatever I wanted. For most photographers, this is a dream [...]
