Photography

In one of my classes we are talking about photo journalism. I really like this topic it brings back memories of being in all of my photography classes. I miss them so much right now. For one of my cases I needed to pull out my old history of photography book. Just looking through that book brings back all the feelings and ALL the amazing and some not so pleasant pictures that were taken through the ages.

Photographers that have made an impression:
Eddie Adams
Alfred Eisenstaedt
Ansel Adams- (his images are beautiful)
Edward Weston
Alfred Stieglitz
...and there are so many more.

In the case that I am doing for my class, the point that I got out of it is that what matters in a picture is the story you can tell. Don't stage a picture because it lessens your credibility. Let the pictures show the facts, don't manipulate it, show what truly matters.
