1930's on-field photographers

[TCMA]

Looking for images similar to these but from the 1930's era. Trying to nail down the style/model of cameras used by any on-field photographers that would have been shooting with glass plate negatives. This photo is from the 1910's I believe, so it's a bit earlier than what I'm after.

Surprisingly, there seem to be very few images out there of the photographers themselves. Figured I'd come across at least a few photographers in the background of images featuring players but no :

Andrew- if there is such a place, you may try something like 'Associated Press Archives'. If such a place still exists, they would be a good information source.

Thanks, I've searched www.apimages.com and www.gettyimages.com. So far I've found these two but I'm still searching :

(Original Caption) 4/12/1932 - Philadelphia, PA: Babe Ruth takes a picture of Lou Gehrig before the start of the opening game of the 1932 baseball season between the New York Yankees and the Philadelphia Athletics at Shibe Park.

Andrew,
Catspajamas was collecting photos of photographers as well. Maybe he will pipe in soon. Good luck.

As Bill mentioned, photographs of photographers is one of my niches of collecting, and I pick them up whenever I can to go along with my off-and-on research of sports photographers. There are several pictured in the thread here:

I know that George Burke in particular used a Graflex camera that originally held 5"x7" glass plates and which he converted over to use 5"x7" film in the 1930's. George Brace also used a Graflex, though a later version of the popular camera which was smaller/lighter and held 4"x6" negatives. Norman Paulson likewise used a Graflex early in his career, though I am not sure which model. All three of these would have been actively using a Graflex in the 1930's. A photo of Burke's camera is below.
