Photography are not just a commodity - like a magazine or one's morning cup of coffee - any more than the people in the photos, or the people who picked the coffee beans are. Editors are very nervous about publishing serious stories when they are really only interested in selling underarm deodorant for their sponsors, or coffee. 'Revolutionary' has become an adjective for computer software, and 'peace' is owning a villa in Mexico. However, photojournalism has its tremendous rewards and it's wonderful work. In what other work can you wander aimlessly with a camera around your neck, armed only with your personal interest and your eyes?
