Behind the Cameras

Reporters like me sometimes forget what fine journalists photographers can be. "In Their Eyes: Stories of Hurricane Katrina" by the photography staff at the St. Petersburg Times is an excellent reminder of the skills and thoughtfulness needed to take great pictures. What I like about this Web collection is that we can hear the stories behind these powerful photos in the voices of the photographers themselves: Willie J. Allen Jr., Douglas R. Clifford, Cherie Diez, Kathleen Flynn, Melissa Lyttle, John Pendygraft, Daniel Wallace and Chris Zuppa.
