The Tombstone Epitaph - a photo on Flickriver

11 S Fifth Street, Tombstone, AZ Oct 22, 2011 — Lately, more than ever, we've learned that some newspapers have more staying power than others. The Tombstone Epitaph has been around since 1880 which is a pretty good track record. The paper started by John Clum was not his first. He also started the Tucson Citizen. The story how the paper was named is interesting.

Clum is also known for another part of American history. He's the man that single handedly brought in the great Apache leader Geronimo. The people of the day made fun of him by saying he would be responsible for an epitaph, not a newspaper. Thus the name The Tombstone Epitaph was born.

If you have a chance, this building serves as a museum devoted to the era of lead-type printing. It is worth the visit.

I imported and tagged the photo with Photo Mechanic. I used Adobe Lightroom for adding color profiles, basic adjustments, and creating TIFFS. I used Photomatix to tone-map the images into an HDR image. I spruced-up the image using the Topaz plug-ins, then touched-up the image using Adobe Photoshop.
