Subject: OT: Photojournalism


| Hi,
|
| further to the discussion recently about photojournalism being about
| either war, famine, pestilence and death, or about goofy looking emus,
| here is a great story which is neither, and which really only works as
| photojournalism.
|
| Read the text that accompanies each photograph, and consider how
| spectacularly dull & uninformative it would be without the
| photographs. This is no story at all without the photos, but the
| photos give us a great opportunity to see 2 very different societies
| and realise not only how much they differ, but also how similar they
| are. It's a really good example, imo, of photojournalism showing us
| something about the world.

| The pair of shots I like best is the one comparing the security guards
| greeting the journalists as they arrive in the morning.
