AFP and Reuters, being foreign wire services, love hockey, even perhaps more than their American counterparts. But not American collegiate hockey and not back in 1994. With room for exceptions, mainstream coverage by wire services of college hockey back then would have pretty much been reserved for the championship game or Frozen Four.<br /><br />But local papers often want coverage of their hometown teams in big games, either as "specials," photos sent directly to that paper, or as pictures on the main wire, usually in late, non-prime time hours. So let's assume that there was a voracious appetite by papers for pictures from the ECAC championship that year. The Boston Globe may not have sent a staffer to Lake Placid to cover Harvard. (I don't know.) So which wire service staffed it?<br /><br />Well, by 1994, UPI was pretty much finished. There was nothing left--no clients, hardly any staffers, bouncing paychecks. By 1992, for instance, UPI's credentials to things like the Academy Awards and the NBA Finals were being pulled (and restored) for lack of clients. So the notion that UPI would be shipping a 300 2.8 to a stringer to cover a collegiate hockey conference championship in Lake Placid is a bit of a reach. They didn't have any 300 2.8s to cover the Yankees.<br /><br />AP, on the other hand, was a tightly run ship. It's conceivable they had New England papers clamoring for coverage of the ECAC. But it's doubtful they were shipping long glass to a kid stringer, especially given that Lake Placid was the fiefdom of a very talented photographer, someone who would have been the go-to person for anything going on up there ever since the Olympics.<br /><br />I'd put my bet on Steven shooting the event for the university, then offering a picture to a photo editor at the dying UPI, then claiming that he was sent there by said wire. (Everyone can fudge association with UPI during that era, because literally no one was in charge. It's much harder to claim employment by AP as there were, like, actual records.)<br /><br />Steven does make one claim that is 100% true: the Nikon F3HP was a brick of a camera, one many of us miss using all these decades later. Curiously, few folks were still shooting F3HP's by 1994, but there we go again....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189040857725534268.post-69597703648674453352011-02-26T01:12:27.269-08:002011-02-26T01:12:27.269-08:00Fish hasn't had anything new on his blog in aw...Fish hasn't had anything new on his blog in awhile either.
