reasons, I try whenever possible to identify all people in photo captions you see in The Review. (When our dedicated community photographers submit pictures via e-mail but forget to add names to captions, I kindly recommend they include IDs in a return e-mail.) So, I have gone about the task of labeling all my personal photos and placing them in photo albums. It does take a little effort, because details often become sketchy after many months and years have passed since the picture was taken. Today, far fewer people get their photos printed - and that's a shame. People in today's society have grown accustomed to taking pictures using their cell phones, but most never have prints made. Digital camera technology and Robin Williams' creepy character in the movie "One Hour Photo" have made many photo processing labs obsolete. Yet, we can still have these wonderful images on our cameras (and cell phones) turned into prints that will make lasting memories for our successors. Just remember to label them.

I hope you were amused as I was with Jim Powell's Oct. 19th column covering the multiple fallacies of redundant writing. A major part of your local newspaper editor's job for each edition is eliminating superfluous words in the many articles submitted by the public and written by reporters (along with his own). After more than two decades as an editor, one learns ways to "write tight" and get the point across using fewer (and shorter) words.
also seemed somewhat redundant to me. Obviously the future will be forward, not backward. Alas, after all these years, I often find even myself injecting trite and over-used phrases in my writings. One word journalists use too frequently is "facility" (a catch-all for all types of buildings). If I was really serious about editing my own column, I would have replaced the word "multiple" with "many" in the first sentence above. Ha!
