I thought I would add a non-baseball photographer into the mix. This photo shows Pvt Kenneth C. Whitmore of the U.S. Army at the 1952 Olympics in Helsinki, Finland. This photo is about the size of a passport photo and shows him on the infield of the athletic stadium with a Japanese newsreel photographer in front of him. I have also attached scans of two of his official Olympic credentials listing him as a photographer for the U.S. Army. I also have his travel orders and equipment list. I collect mostly Olympic photographs (5000+ images). I also try to pick up items related to the photographers including credentials, passes, tickets and the such. I have also acquired an interesting group of photo vests and bibs.

Reviving this thread with shot of photographer Byron "Shorty" Filkins astride Indians outfielder Chris Hockett to get a downward a shot of 6'-8" Cleveland pitcher Mike Naymick. At 5' 1-1/2" tall, my guess is Filkins was responsible for a lot of those upward-angle, larger-than-life kind of shots

I posted this in the RMY pickup thread, but it certainly would apply.
I have no idea who these photographers are, BTW. If anyone recognizes their backsides, PLMK. Actually, maybe I don't want to know why you know... ![]() |

Thank you Scott. The glasses are also pretty close in style. It must be that 'AAArmy Training, Sir!!' I have never seen GB, but he was a good straight man in 'Stripes'.
