prize fight reruns they air on one of the cable channels. I always
love to look at the photographers to see what they are using. I've
seen them using the 2 flash-bulb arrangement [one gun on either
side of the camera] - must have needed a lot of light for slow
color film. And, several times, I've seen what looks almost like a
round camera, with some kind of finder on the top, with a Graflex
flash on the side, which I took to be the ringside camera. This was
in fights in the 40s or real early 50s. I haven't recorded the
fights to use stop frame, but I think that's what I seeing. That's
my story, and I'm sticking with it! Watch for yourself and see if
you see it.
