On photojournalism

Quotes from some photojournalists to remind and motivate myself of the work that I do.

"Photojournalists have the incredible role of bringing to life stories through the photographs that they take. In most cases, these photographs will be the only visual representation of the story that the public will ever see. Because of this huge and awesome responsibility, I always interpret the situation truthfully to the best of my ability." - Judy Lyon

"Images at their passionate and truthful best are as powerful as words can ever be. If they alone cannot bring change, they can at least provide an understanding mirror of man's actions, thereby sharpening human awareness and awakening conscience." - Cornell Capa

I realise it is important to adopt a correct and positive mindset towards this occupation. Otherwise, you will get desensitized too quickly and lose the drive to deliver quality photos consistently.
