loving. What you have caught on film is captured
forever... it remembers little things, long after
you have forgotten everything.”

Photo-Journalism
"Photojournalism
is a particular form of
journalism (the
collecting, editing, and
presenting of news
material for publication
or broadcast) that
creates images in order
to tell a news story. It
is now usually
understood to refer only
to still images, and in
some cases to video used
in broadcast journalism
or for personal use.
Photojournalism is
distinguished from other
close branches of
photography (such as
documentary photography,
street photography
or
celebrity photography)
by the qualities of: Timeliness
— the images have
meaning in the
context of a
recently published
record of events.
Objectivity
— the situation
implied by the
images is a fair and
accurate
representation of
the events they
depict in both
content and tone.
Narrative
— the images combine
with other news
elements to make
facts relatable to
the viewer or reader
on a cultural level.
Like a
writer, a
photojournalist is a
reporter but he or
she must often make
decisions instantly and
carry
photographic equipment,
often while exposed to
significant obstacles
(physical danger,
weather, crowds)."
