Awful extended metaphor aside, “Picture Hunt” makes for a solid introduction into the thought process behind making pictures. At least for me, the article enforced the difference between the artistic photographs and photojournalism. While they may share many of the same characteristics in the method of obtaining them, the overall message in the product is different. And of course the difference between the two types of photos is obvious but I think it was important that we be reminded of this as we attempt to achieve great photojournalism.
If David Labelle’s article was enforcing the steps for photography, David Snider’s pictures just reinforced all those steps by showing them as a finished product.
