About Between The Lens

“Nothing tells a story like great photojournalism.”

Borrowing the words of Chris Peck, editor, “The Spokesman Review,” your Herald-Whig visual reporting team created this multimedia site to, “reinforce the key notion of taking viewers to places where they cannot go by themselves to explore ideas that they may not have conceived.” We are documentary-style photojournalists, and writers who also produce multimedia projects chronicling the everyday lives and challenges of our neighbors in Quincy and the surrounding area.

Recognizing the awesome potential of a truly community-driven site, we are inviting you to join the iReporter Team where you can submit your story-telling photographs for publication in Between The Lens.

In addition, if you have ideas, information, or experiences related to any of the story topics or photographs herein, we invite and encourage you to add your comments by clicking on the “comment” link located at the bottom right corner of each posting.

Above all, “Between The Lens” is a community forum brought about through a desire to build an inclusive environment where your vision is shared and your voice heard in matters that are of importance to all of us. Thanks for participating.

- The Herald-Whig photo staff.
