| | THE INVESTIGATION
Most of the time the images which we receive at DPI do not have any attached information regarding time or place. A good deal of detective work and research is required to give accurate caption information. There are usually clues present if you know what to look for. This one was easy! We were told that the photo above was of Chicago taken in September 1946. A coal field is seen to the east of the Chicago skyline and across Lake Michigan located somewhere nearby on the shore of the lake. Perhaps in Illinois or more likely Indiana, Perhaps Gary. Enter Google Earth to the rescue. The photo above is actually of the coal facilities of the Inland Steel Company located in East Chicago, Indiana. In the photo, Inland Steel Company is seen in the center of the photo as it juts into Lake Michigan. The photo was taken on May 22, 2016. Today, Inland Steel company has been incorporated into ArcelorMittal. Another case solved! For licensing information on any of our newsletter images please use the contact link below.

| | | THE NEED FOR SPEED
Our goal at DPI has always been to provide the best in photojournalism
and documentary photography to our viewers. However, in the news
business there are deadlines to be met particularly in regard to
breaking news. Editors will usually opt for the first available image
that they receive. In order for us to be competitive in this area the
need to provide copy nearly instantaneously to all of
our clients had become evident. To this end we are announcing the
launching of a new texting feature. Subscribers to our newsletter will
receive a text message including a photo either for a breaking news
event or when the conversation is related to images from our collection.
Editors can then contact us for the hi-res download. If you wish to
unsubscribe to this text message please contact us at

in your email. |
