Fred Comegys Photographs
For more than 50 years, photographer Fred Comegys has captured international celebrities and local kids for the pages of The News Journal. His distinctive images present national news and local interest stories, and perhaps most memorably, the intersection of the two. Born and raised in Delaware, he comes by these local angles naturally.
