Luse describes the times, “During that era of photo-journalism the challenges were many, especially when it came to breaking news. It helped to have a discerning ear that could pick out the calls for fire trucks on the police scanner and ignore the public works department chatter. Sometimes you learned what was happening by getting an alert on your pager and then hunting down a phone to get the details. Once on the scene you had to be mindful to build in time to rush back to the photo lab, process the film and peer through a magnifying loop to edit what you had shot. Then it was handed over to a scowling editor impatiently staring at his watch and yelling about the respect for deadlines.”
