\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Being at the right place, at the right time. Everything that happens in the photojournalism business is by being aware. Photojournalists have to be prepared at all times. The Pulitzer Prize is the highest award in journalism. When photojournalists take their Pulitzer winning photo, they are in the right place at the right time.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The day of the Boston fire in 1976, Stanley Forman didn\u2019t know that he would be witnessing such a tragedy. For him it was a normal day and he was taking in his surroundings. In the pictures, there are innocent and unknowing people who were about to experience a tragic incident. Forman said, \u201cThe little girl\u2026 she didn\u2019t know anything.\u201d The photos show a tragic accident. A little girl seems to be flying through the air, totally unknowing of her fate. Forman hadn\u2019t planned this series of photos. It shows the different emotions and fates of others.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0A photo that The New York Times Staff took, on September 11, 2001, will last for generations. The photos show the twin towers. One plane has crashed into the south tower. The photo put millions of viewers on the scene. It is very important for history because it will show other generations the views of others. John White, from the Sun Times, describes what it is like to be a photojournalist. He said, \u201cEvery day we get a front seat to history.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Photographs can bring not only the country together, but also the past and present. In a picture from The Orange County Register Staff at the L.A. Olympics in 1985, viewers can see an Olympian pulling people from the crowd together by the U.S. flag. This photo represents unity. Stan Grossfeld said, \u201cIt\u2019s an honor to be a journalist. If I care about something, I can make half a million people care.\u201d The photojournalist who took this photo found this experience worthy to share with future generations. Photojournalists bring together the past and the future because they find the photos worthy enough to share with everyone in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Emotions emerge through stories and film. Photographs help portray the raw emotions in a human being\u2019s eyes. Carol Guzy took a picture in Haiti, 1995, of a young girl. This little girl has an innocent look to her. Although she and the people around her are going through a tragic experience, she is able to show others the joy in life through these pictures. Carol Guzy said, \u201cThere’s something about that moment, that moment in time that does touch people.\u201d This picture is important for other generations to see because it shows how the innocent go through tragic experiences, but still come out joyful.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Without photojournalists, people wouldn\u2019t be able to comprehend the extent of some situations. Nathaniel Fein took Babe Ruth\u2019s Farewell in 1949. To some this picture shows a baseball player. To others it shows the greatest player of all time. Pulitzer winner and photojournalist William Snyder said, \u201cIt\u2019s not a photography contest. It\u2019s about telling some of the biggest stories of the year.\u201d This picture would be one of the biggest stories of the century. Babe Ruth\u2019s legacies have endured for generations because of photos like these. Pictures help legacies carry on to the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Photojournalism is not only telling stories, but also telling people’s thoughts. Photos give people the opportunity to interpret how they think about the situation. As the film \u201cA Glimpse of Life: The Pulitzer Photographs\u201d said at the beginning, many of the Pulitzer Prize photojournalists got their pictures by being constantly ready. Throughout this film, it shows many important events in history. But it also shows many legacies that will live on because the moment in time was captured.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
