At the beginning of this class we were asked to define what photojournalism means and in my first blog I defined as there were many ways of defining what it mean but my understand was differently but my initial research I understood as Based on my knowledge and research photojournalism is defined as a way of us keeping our history and preserving memories and it is also a way of telling story through pictures to provide us with information so we can understand what is going on the other side of the world. Photojournalist try to find stories to tell us that is meaningful, and would be interesting to us the reader, going back and to my old post I now realize what it to be a photojournalist, there is their ethical, moral, bias understanding to be able to report the news as it happens, and change the photos simply to want to tell their story although some people did.
The reason why it is important to know the history of photojournalism, I think like anything in history we need to keep records of it to preserve it history so we can reference it back. I think that it was just keeping memories alive and also reporting what is happening around the word and we should know more about photojournalism and the people who put their life at risk to get us the news. We should also keep looking in to this profession and their roles in history, I think that we should do more to protect our journalist because they put their lives a risk every time they go out on missions to tell their stories through their lens.
My “ah-ha moment for was when professor Nordell post two images which looked identical to each other and as I look close at that image I thought they looked similar yet different while both picture looked the same they were both taken in two different era, that gave me a little understanding of what photojournalism is.
When asked if I think photography would change the world, everyone has their own opinion about what this means to them. I said that photojournalism will changes the world in some cases we rely on the journalist to tell us what happening and here in our home state or across the ocean miles away it can also sway the opinion of the public. One example is an image that has changes the world is of this man falling from the towers during 9/11 this image captured this man falling to his death that tragic moment
it is an image that we as American will never forget and same way his family will never forget him.

In Brittany's profile I learn how women photojournalist like Vyarawalla went through a lot to gain the respect that they need to work in this filed ans also learned that she was the first female photojournalist in India and how it wasn't easy for her family to understand and she was quotes as saying that, “But even though her family’s traditional,conservative values may have dictated Homai’s attire, they were far more liberal and open-minded when it came to decisions regarding her life

I think that being a photojournalist is being at the right place at the right time it can also be where you place the object in the photo to get the dramatic effect you want. it was really hard for me to get this pictures in the right moment with a moving vehicle and kids screaming in the back of the car,but i had to get the perfect picture I had to take the pictures a couple of time to get the one that i wanted. i used my cell phone to take this pictures below, like David Guttenfelder find that using your cell phone to take photos are great because you get to upload them on your computer instantly or send them to friends and family right way.
