A large unoccupied warehouse in Chicago caught on fire Tuesday and I went there yesterday to see what was going on. At one point there were 200 fire fighters involved—when I got there they were down to about 20, but were still pouring water on the site. I was among a fairly large group of gawkers and press photographers. Just about everyone, of course, was using digital of various persuasions ranging from phones to high-end DSLRs, to one guy with a bright pink iPad. I did meet an off duty fire fighter with a Nikon F and Tri-x who was there photographing his buddies. Interestingly I was the only one using 4x5—why was that?
