It must be difficult to make a living as a photographer in the DC Universe what with the sky opening up every other day, star ships crashing into parks, demons running around and people flying about. The competition for a news-worthy photo that would catch the interest of a public used to giant star ships hovering and 100 foot tall men striding through the city must be fierce. In the real world this photo would be a Pulitzer-winner. But in the DCU even the most spectacular photo, even one that caught a buzzard getting disintegrated by the impact flash of a meteor would barely rate publication unless it was in some dusty desert burg.
From DC Super-Stars #15 (July-August 1977) and of course Bob Kanigher wrote it.

The photographer will very shortly be outed by his editor as soon as the penny drops. "Hey, didja see that terrific photo Clark got of the fireball? Everything for miles around was vaporized. His camera started melting right in his hands! Hm. That's...odd."
