Danielle Destrade's Blog #2: Photojournalism

I read "The Great Picture Hunt" before taking a look at David Snider's Street Pictures, and I was able to really discover the important elements of photojournalism David Labelle explained in Snider's photographs. I thought Labelle's article was an excellent explanation of the fundamentals of photojournalism. Instead of focusing on the technical aspects of making pictures, he explained two essential elements of being a photojournalist - how to make sure your photos are telling a story, and how to find opportunities to take those photos. I'm sure his practical advice will be really helpful to me as I explore photojournalism for the first time.
