Photojournalist Makes News

This is amazing. Lewiston (Maine) Sun Journal photographer Russ Dillingham made photographs of the news and became a part of it. He photographed a bouncy police suspect and then tackled the fugitive as he was running from police.

There could be a lot of ethical talk about whether or not is was the right thing to do, but I give him kudos for his brave move and deftness with the camera.

(In the name of full disclosure, I knew Russ when I worked in Maine.)
