What Photojournalism means to me

To me, photojournalism means studying captured art through the lens, the natural beauty of the world, and the ability to capture moments in time.

This image means to me mourning a death, a somber celebration. In the blog “ A Struggle For Democracy Part 1” by Shahidual Alam speaks about how photos can capture “personal stories”. Alam explains that images can be a documentation of “socio-political phenomenon.” History might not tell how much people care about the death of someone, but a photo can capture it.
