N&O Press Operators

John, Chris, and Anthony are third shift press operators at the News & Observer. They initially didn’t want me to take their picture–in fact, 3 other employees opted out and were in the shadows. They didn’t want to be perceived as being slack or not working hard, even though they were on their cigarette break.

You can tell from their uniforms that they work hard.

These fellows are great guys. I used to work with them when I was in Production. And they do work very hard: climbing 3-story-tall presses, squeezing in 3-foot-wide spaces to attach razor-sharp plates to the press, pushing around rolls of paper taller than they are, to name just a few of the tasks the press guys(and gals) have to master.
