The human condition is a perilous, glorious, double-edged sword. Photojournalists across the world capture the human spirit through the powerful attention of their lens. Their work evokes a depth of understanding and emotion that precede major stories. These images stand the test of time in print and in human hearts and minds.
“If it makes you laugh. If it makes you cry. It’s a good photo. You look at a film and you see it and it’s over and it goes on the shelf. But a still picture is in front of you all the time…. The most powerful weapon that we have in the world is a still photograph.” -Eddie Adams.
Photojournalism is frontline work. By nature, the work requires getting out ahead of the story. Anticipating. Wondering. Don Bartletti said, “There’s just something about this business that can catapult you to the highest sense of being or purpose. But when you miss it. They say you’re only as good as your last picture.”
