It was just about this time last year when The Palm Beach Post, which had some of the best reproduction of any paper in the country going back to the late 60s, cranked out its last paper.
Even though I had taken an early retirement buyout, I wanted to spend some time with the men and women who had made my pictures look good for so many years. I’ve always believed that every worker should be able to give his or her kids and grandkids a picture of what they do for a living.
I shot these pictures over two of the last weekends before the presses were stilled forever.
Go here to see the Magic of the Big Iron and the workers who drove it so well.
