Hey folks, your humble daily news photographer here. From time to time our editors ask us to do a “Photographer’s Notebook” — something to give readers a peek behind the lens. Well, the time is ripe for me. This is my final assignment. After 45 years of chasing deadlines (the last 35 here at the mighty Bay Area News Group), I am hanging up my press pass and putting down the viewfinder. With your kind indulgence, allow me to share a few images. I will limit this to 35 photos, maybe too many, but I want to recall the old film days when cameras let you shoot only 36 exposures. And I will save the last frame in case I see one more shot…
