Welcome to our new endeavor
If you have stumbled upon this page, you have found the new blog of The Oklahoman’s Photography Department. I’m Nate Billings, one of our staff photographers. We are all first-time bloggers, to my knowledge, and are excited to get started.
Here we hope to post some of our favorite photos, videos, and thoughts about photography. Many of the pictures you may have seen before in the newspaper or on newsok.com, others will be posted for the first time here after being left unpublished for one of the many reasons that things do not make the newspaper. Although photographers are not known for being great writers, we will also try to give some background on what goes into getting a picture and what our jobs are like.
Since this is a photo blog, I should probably post a photo in this inaugural post to get things going. Here’s one that didn’t get published. Often space constraints are the reason for this.
