In honor of the passing of Edward H. Hewson Jr., the father of TV remote trucks, here is a collection of photos of early television remote trucks.

We've come a long way. Can you imagine having to park these things at the latest crime scene? The guys who worked with these trucks were truly pioneers. And we owe Ed Hewson a huge debt of thanks. Here is his obit.

POSTMORTEM

After the Shoot

After the ShootPhotogs in Cities Around the World Tell You Where to Go and What to Do!
Example: "...When in New Orleans many people automatically head for Bourbon Street in the French Quarter. That's fine if you like overpriced drinks, obnoxious tourists and the smells of vomit and urine. For something different, try Frenchmen Street in the Faubourg Marigny, just downriver from the Quarter."
