A smoking gun can make a career. It's a MEH photograph, but it's an
argument for not throwing anything away. When the Clinton/Lewinsky
story broke, the photographer, who had dismissed the shot as not
particularly interesting went back through his negatives, and got quite
a bit of additional press. (Damn, this is so full of possible innuendo,
oh well, I'll leave it up to the readers to enjoy themselves).
Now I wouldn't expect something like this to happen at a local presser,
but these are politicians we're talking about here, so you never know.

lit well enough to print is all that is needed. The newsworthiness is
what matters.

I don't know if I've ever seen a "good" press conference shot. Perhaps any shot that
shows the principals and doesn't hoover completely is a "good" shot.
