The Photojournalist's Job

[Bluenoser]

Saw this in today's newspaper and thought I would share it with you.

The photojournalist's job is a simple one: create a still image, iconic and truthful, that can replace a thousand words.

I would assume that was the tone of the comment.

Easier said than done.........Isn't that the friggin truth. I don't know just how many times, I've told reporters sometimes a 1000 words is a lot better than a lame photo to go along with your lame story

D'OH! I would likely have been one of those reporters -- except I was also a shooter and most of the time did my own photos.
