NY Times cover picture

Today's NY Times has a shot which I think is particularly good for this kind of PJ. It shows Alito amid a sea of journalists and photographers. Here is a link. You might need to have an online subscription to see it. If you can see it, click button to enlarge the shot at the upper left. The crop of the inline shot loses the great composition, but the enlarged shot is intact.

What I like about this shot is that (as it shows) a lot of photojournalists were trying to get a shot at that very moment. The sea of cameras forms a great framing composition element. It's also clear that nobody is going to get the same amount of context as this picture shows. It conveys a man at the eye of a news hurricane, possibly at a turning point in judicial history.

You have to wonder if there was another sea of PJ where the NY Times shooter was...

Maybe those on the other side got the same shot.

Oh yeah! What a shame to have cropped out that great composition. This photographer definitely got the best picture. Tells a better story than those close-ups will.
