Photojournalist on the Job

I recently visited the Los Angeles Times library and checked out the file labeled “Photographers,” which holds prints of photographers engaged in their trade, and came up with several good images to start this photojournalist-at-work gallery. After adding several other images, it’s time to post.

But this gallery is far from done. I will keep adding images in coming months.

And I need your help. Many of the photographers are not identified. If you know, let me know. Either leave a comment or send an e-mail to scott.harrison@latimes.com.

Also, submit images. I’m looking for additional ”Photojournalist on the Job” examples to add to this gallery.
