Photo of the Day: Tuesday, Aug. 5, 2008

MICHAEL LAPOLLA / Observer-Dispatch
Lauren Smith, 8, of Utica, punches a punching bag during a Boxing Youth Sports Camp at Martin Luther King Junior Elementary School, Monday, August 4, 2008, in Utica.

Editor's note: This is a shot that changed the face of the front page. The editor's dream is to have a strong photo like this that forces a debate as to which photo should run as the main photo.

Where do you get your "Editor Comments" from? ...The best seller, "10 Things a Photo Editor Could Say About a Photo When He Doesn't Know What To Say?"

After looking at the page one layout on Newseum, I can't imagine what the debate was about! I guess you all like to hear yourselves talk.

Why do you call these "photo of the day"? You don't post them daily...not even close. Does that mean some days are photo-less? That must be hard. It doesn't look like you have many photographers anymore though. Maybe that's why you can't have a "photo of the day" everyday like most papers. Is it?

so, ok, now it's been almost two months w/o a post on the 'photo of the DAY' blog...why don't you just remove the blog if you're not going to do it. it's an embarrassment to the OD...one of many of course. sad.
