Contributors to the You Witness News site are building an impressive collection of images covering a wide range of subjects. Fire seems to be one which produces excellent results and there is a particularly good series by Brad Petersen from the beginning of the year of a fire at a condominium construction site in the best of the week for 1/23/07.
A very useful general view by Whitney Tipton of bushfires blazing over Los Angeles beautifully complements an excellent set of pictures shot much closer to the action by Patrick Gookin which would be right at home in any news layout from the selection of the best of the week for 4/5/07.
I don’t know how quickly these images were moved to You Witness but to have real news value they would need to be in our hands within an hour or two of being shot. Speed is of the essence, news is served hot and even pictures which are not hard news are more readily used on the day they were produced.
