Photog Slugger (1957-58; actual size approx. 3.5 x 3.1 in. (8.8 x 7.9 cm.)). From "Just one more!" 1958 Annual, p. 19. There's nothing particularly new about press photographers getting punched by unwitting subjects; it's been going on for decades. (For that matter, pages 40 and 41 of the 1958 Annual contain a spread of photos by Bob Martin and Nelson Tiffany, showing actor Tony Franciosa being remanded to police custody after slugging a photog and some deputies besides. In those photos Franciosa appears to be getting not a great deal of sympathy from his wife, actress Shelley Winters.) For this image, a noise and blur filter was used to attenuate the dot matrix. Also lightly retouched to remove random black spots, and desaturated to remove color artifacts. Image ©1958 Press Photographers Association of Greater Los Angeles; reproduced with permission.
