. Camera Angles ~
Salient Points on Professionalism

II you own any kind Of camera.
oil the fun and profit Of photo
graphic Journalism is at your
fingertips. You don't have to be
an expert writer. All you need is
the ability to take a good picture
and the patience to put down
pertinent facts about that picture.
The veriest amateur can take q
picture that appeals to q picture
editor, II he will apply himself to
the problem. To sell. photograph
must be good from technical
standpoint and tell a story or have
q human-interest angle. Occa-
sionally, a pictorial shot will stand
on It's own merits but more often
the man at the picture desk is
looking for photographs that have
q message" or appeal.
You don't need an expensive
camera to take the type Of picture
that will sell to the photo editor.
Your box or folding camera will
perform we'll enough with few
exceptions where action requires
a rapid exposure. You won't be
in competition with news pho
tographers for 1t will be a rare
occasion when you will be at the
scene of an emergency when the
newsmen are on the job. AS a
matter of fact you should go after
the feature type pictures that are
generally seen in the rotogravure
and magazine sections. Leave the
spot news stories alone unless you
happen to be the only photogra-
pher on the scene. II you are
lucky enough to get an exclusive
shot OF an accident scene, fire or
similar story Of immediate interest,
be sure to rush the films to the
paper at once. What may be Of
great interest today is usually for

Illustrative Pictures.
Finally, II you fancy yourself as
a writer. you can always use your
photographs rs subject matter for
illustrated articles. These shots
do not necessarily have TO have
any immediate bearing upon one
another. Yet all may tie together
indirectly for the purpose Of illus
trating an article on q particular
subject. The Photographic mag
azines supply you with one OF the
best markets for lf-illustrated
articles. How TO do 1t" articles
are always in great demand and II
you have discovered some short
cut or new method. or even II you
have dreamed UP some useful
gadget TO be used with your photo
equipment, send in story on how
you accomplished the idea. to-
sether with adequate picture Illus
trations Of your own making.
Any picture that you submit
for sale to a publication must be
accompanied by accurate and
thorough caption material. The
only exception TO this rule Is when
a photo is submitted to Q maya
zine as an example Of pictorial
art. In this case you need only
furnish a title. In some cases
even this is not required.
Magazines and newspapers have
different requirements concern
ing captions. Likewise their
needs and pay scales differ. A
picture of q fire that may be q
scoop" locally may be Of no in
terest to q national magazine I'M
less there Is an unusual or SEN
sational angle to it. Likewise your
picture OF the dirty-faced kid
licking the ice cream cone would
need the name and address Of
the child for local use. yet this
same information would not be
used by the magazine. In other
words, general captions, except
where the story concerns personal
tiles, are acceptable to magazines.
Newspapers cater to the citizens
of one area and those people are
generally interested in all the facts
concerning one Of them. Always
include the who, what. why.
where and when concerning each
picture that you submit to the
papers. Names are most impor-
tant and should always be spelled
correctly. After q shot covering
more than one person. never let
the group break up until you have
each person identified in his posi-
ton. reading from left to right.
II you are in doubt about the
identities Of persons in q picture,
better not to use it than make q
bad guess. Few things annoy peo-
pie more than to see themselves
identified incorrectly in a news
shot. They always complain to
the editor and you lose your mar
ket right then and there.

They must have help. Who. can

your teachers, your lawyers, doc
tors ask them to fight with
you and help you to raise your
heads up from the muck and mire
of the slums in order that you
can see that silver lining again.
Unite! Unite!! Unite!! That's
where your strength lies all
of you together can do something
about the real issue of the slums;
one person can't do it alone. The
rich, who at one time were in
the same position as you poor
ones down there, realize your
feelings, your thoughts; they
know what type of environment
you're raising your children in.
Sincerely, I know they will help
you, but you must show them
that you are behind them, and
you must forget your temporary
strifes and petty jealouSies and
once again, as Of old, unite hand
in hand, for, with this type of
fervor, grit and CUTS, you can
lick this insidious thing known
as slums. First, let's get the
names of people who own these
shacks; take the names of these
people to the inspection authori-
ties; see that they inspect all of
the bad houses and see that they
condemn them, and then make
the city council, or whoever is in
charge, force these landlords to
cooperate or else. Then, if
nothing is done, get permission
to hold a parade, all of you peo-
pie, not a hundred, but all Of you,
and carry banners, placards, tell
ing the people why you're parad-
ing: not because you want pub
licity, but because you're tired
of this do-nothing attitude by the
City Fathers and politicians. It's
time that some people realized
you people control a few votes,
and that you're tired of voting
for those who are not in the least
concerned about the small people
for a change So, once again
plead with the Negro people of
Greensboro, big and small, to
forget your differences once and
for all, and unite for one cause,
and that cause: the future better
ment Of the colored people and
mankind. Call 3-8419 and give
me the names of the landlords
whose shacks you live in and I,
in turn, will see that your home
is inspected, and, if not iveable,
will see that something is. done.
So give, Cuzzin', give!!

troubles to worry about, but I'll

there's going to be one big bliz-
zard for one poor Wizard :. :.
Slums, slums, slums, slums!!!
That's all you see for blocks
around in the East Market Street
section. What's this city and city
council have to happen to them
to awaken them to the fact that
those .slums were condemned
time and time again. Just recent
ly they had the colored people
up there in the courtroom of the
City Hall making a spectacle of
themselves, one pitted against
the other. An all of the history of
the Negro American, they have
been fighting side by side, trying
to conquer the many evils that
were trying to tear them apart
and weaken them; they've stood
all that was pushed upon them.
Now a small matter like housing
has cropped up; it threatens to
envelop the Negro people like a
monstrous octopus stretching its
tentacles to choke them, one by
one. Both sides are wrong, and
both sides are right but the
real issue isn't housing, it's slums,
slums, slums!!! There could be
enough houses in the overcrowd-
ed area surrounding East Market
Street area if the parasites who
call themselves men would stop
bleeding the poor tenants who
live in those filthy, crummy old
shacks, and instead, have the
decency to try to be good Chris
tians and give those poor people
down there a break and start
tearing down, cleaning up, paint
ing up, and putting in good sani-
tation facilities, pave those side
walks, put in some streets and
paved roads instead of some
rotten side alleys where it's a
wonder kids don't break their
necks trying to walk on those
rutted tobacco roads. That, my
dear City Council, my dear citi-
zens, is the real issue. Private
housing and Federal housing and
public housing will take care of
itself, but the slums won't. You
leaders up there on Benbow
Road, here's your chance to
prove you really want to find
better homes for your down
trodden, poor Negroes get
out the old grindstone and get
to work, get after the City Coun-
Gil to force every condemned
house to be either fixed up to
health and sanitation standards
or get them the heck out of
there. Stop those landlords from
exploiting the slum-ridden ten
ant. You who live in these slum
houses, get up off your rear ends
and show some CUTS; get up
there and fight. Go see these
leaders of vol1rs vo11T. ,,roachaYe
