Some Photography
I just thought that I would show y'all the photo that I am most proud of.
I just love how it turned out. Many of my pictures are of horses. I will be randomly posting pictures and other stuff not related to my photojournalism class.

Distinguishing great photojournalism from the merely good
Read my definition of photojournalism that I last posted. Then go to both of these sites. http://layersofthailand.com/tag/nc2000/ and http://www.buzzfeed.com/tasneemnashrulla/ap-photographer-dies-of-a-heart-attack-after-taking-photos-a#.pykpkmBQAR
Look at their pictures. Pick out one photo from each page that you think represents photojournalism the best. Then pick a runner-up. There are no right or wrong answers.
My pick from the first link is the one on the bottom of the page- the child up against the barbed wire. In this photographers' photos, the story is harder to tell from just the picture. The child is clearly trapped and quite possibly in danger. He is in a refugee camp with barbed wire fences surrounding him.
My runner-up is the Bayon Temple Woman. This is the picture of a woman in Cambodia laughing and clapping her hands. I love this one because you can tell that life had been hard, but there could still be moments of joy.
The one I pick from the second link is the one of the three people holding eachother and running in the midst of a hurricane. This is clearly a huge impact on their lives. The hard wind tried to push them down, and behind them, a house is collapsing.
My runner-up is the one of Phil Mickelson winning the Masters golf tournament. Many of the famous photojournalism stories are sad, but not all of them have to be.

What is photojournalism?
Photojournalism is telling a story with pictures. Instead of papers with words in one language, almost everyone in the world can understand a picture. The mood, the actions, and the expressions can tell someone's entire story on a small piece of paper. They will do many kinds of photography, including sports, news, and portraits. Companies will hire freelance photographers to capture shots for news(usually). They never know where they will be sent- there are an infinity of stories all over the earth. Its their job to capture them.
