Questions about Scott Fife's work

Hey gang!

After a busy shift on Saturday, I had two questions asked by patrons about Scott Fife's work, and wondered if anyone had found/heard answers...

1. How much does that puppy weigh?
2. Why cardboard as a medium?

Eddie Adams Vietnam Shooting

Eddie Adams, Journalist, 71; Showed Violence of Vietnam

Eddie Adams, a Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist and combat
photographer who produced one of the most riveting images of the
Vietnam War, died on Saturday in Manhattan. He was 71.

The cause was Lou Gehrig's disease, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis,
said Judy Twersky, a spokeswoman for the Eddie Adams Workshop.

In a 45-year career, much of it spent in the front ranks of news
photographers, he worked for The Associated Press, Time and Parade,
covering 13 wars and amassing about 500 photojournalism awards. But it
was a 1968 photograph from Vietnam, taken for The A.P., that cemented
his reputation in the public eye and among his peers. That
black-and-white image captured the exact moment that Brig. Gen. Nguyen
Ngoc Loan, then serving as the national police chief of South Vietnam,
fired a bullet at the head of a Vietcong prisoner standing an arm's
length away on a Saigon street.
