Photos of the Day

Photojournalism is capturing stories and emotions in one frame.  It is different from other types of art, commercial or personal photography because it is about issues of importance.  It is a type of news that is just as important as the words in an article.  Photojournalism is a type of art because several types of artistic techniques are used when taking photojournalistic pictures.  It has to be visually appealing in order to get people's attention and bring awareness to whatever issue or person it is depicting.  Memorable news photographs are important if they are about an event or problem that hardly any of it's viewers even knows exist.  They are memorable if they truly convey the emotion of that moment and appeal to the viewer's emotions.

"I have been a witness, and these pictures are

my testimony. The events I have recorded should

not be forgotten and must not be repeated."
