Enquirer Weather | Tom Hubbard's Photojournalism

Eden Park

Sun, 04 Nov 2007 22:42:23 -0500

This one is a fond memory, taken on my first date with my future wife, on a working Sunday. Later, on a day off, I stopped for a feature shot. She said, "I can't tell when you are working or not."

Wet Windshield

Sun, 04 Nov 2007 22:29:30 -0500

A Cincinnati Reds game was rained out. I came back to the Enquirer Building and found my favorite parking spot, right in front of the building. (I have he rare talent of finding a parking space whenever I want one.) I shot from the rear seat so the windshield and scene would be in focus…so to speak

Switch Cleaning

Sun, 04 Nov 2007 22:20:31 -0500

My first nice shot for the Cincinnati Enquirer. I saw this worker in the middle of a rail yard, sweeping switches.

Terminal

Sun, 04 Nov 2007 22:19:15 -0500

The art deco Cincinnati Union Terminal shot through a fog.

Swings

Sun, 04 Nov 2007 22:18:07 -0500

Shot with a $6. lens. It didn't even stop down automatically. I would focus, look at the F/stop to set it and shoot.

Stockyard Roofs

Sun, 04 Nov 2007 22:15:55 -0500

Looks abstract but it's a fairly realistic shot of snow covered sawtooth industrial roofs.

Snow Tree

Sun, 04 Nov 2007 22:13:56 -0500

Looks like a double exposure, but it's one negative, of people walking on snow, shot from above, through a tree.

Snow Fountain

Sun, 04 Nov 2007 22:12:35 -0500

Fountain Square, a Cincinnati icon, on a snowy night.

Snow Carew

Sun, 04 Nov 2007 22:10:51 -0500

Taken in 1966. The foreground is all buildings now.

Price Hill

Sun, 04 Nov 2007 22:04:16 -0500

"A rainy night on Price Hill." a suburb overlooking downtown Cincinnati.

"Neither snow..."

Lake

Sun, 04 Nov 2007 21:42:16 -0500

This was an off day, a day at the lake. I knew I could shoot into the sun with slow, Kodak Panotomic X film.

Going Home

Sun, 04 Nov 2007 21:33:50 -0500

I used a telephoto lens to pull the sidewalk together and did some darkroom manipulation to eliminate each side of the sidewalk. This would be easy in digital photography but is forbidden by every newspaper, such poetic license is not allowed today.
