Times photo staffer’s invention: the streaming backpack

“From a photographer’s perspective it makes our photography process more similar to the days of film, where you went out you did your assignment, dropped off your roll of film, and went off to do another assignment. Now you download your cards, color correct and caption it. It takes away from the creative process of photography.”

There’s certainly an entrepreneurial opportunity if the newsroom gets the smaller iteration down pat, but Haner said he’s not interested in offering his invention to the wide world yet.

“Right now we consider it a competitive advantage, at the Met Gala we beat the wire services by 20 minutes,” he said.
