Hey folks, your humble daily news photographer here.From time to time our editors ask us to do a “Photographer’s Notebook” — something to give readers a peek behind the lens.Well, the time is ripe for me.This is my final assignment.After 45 years of chasing deadlines (the last 35 here at the mighty Bay Area News Group), I am hanging up my press pass and putting down the viewfinder.With your kind indulgence, allow me to share a few images.I will limit this to 35 photos, maybe too many, but I want to recall the old film days when cameras let you shoot only 36 exposures.And I will save the last frame in case I see one more shot…
