More Eye Candy
Monday, July 20, 2009
On Monday after major championships the photo department for Golf World needs an
extra set of eyes. I come in and provide bullpen relief. It's like
getting a two pitch save because a bulk of the work is done on-site by
the photographers, who shoot the pictures, and Christian Iooss, who
edits it down from thousands to a few hundred. Once the writers file
their stories, I go through the batch of selects and pair pictures with
the appropriate prose. Last week at Turnberry Dom Furore, J.D. Cuban
and Donald Miralle were roaming my favorite course in the world packing
40-pound lenses and a keen sense and understanding of their mission:
document history. Like the old impressionists well before shutterbug technology, our photographer's cameras are their
brushes, the little memory cards are their canvas.
After we put
the magazine to bed, I put together a photo essay of some of the best
you won't see in Golf World this week. Here's one of my favorites:
Here's a link to a lot of hard work and a small slice of golf history.
