We are all photojournalists sometimes. We are out there taking pictures to remember or record something. Events, vacations, travel, outings , all those times we take along a camera with us on a venture we look for cools stuff to take pictures of.
Sometimes we go for the light or the colors, shapes or patterns. Artsy stuff.
Often we go for the “Hey, that’s cool” or “Look where we are” stuff. That’s photojournalism. We are recording what is. Documenting. Depicting.
Sometimes we are being precise to show what we are experiencing clearly and accurately. Other times we compose our shots to include important details that give more information. That tell a story.
