Shooting for the News: Photojournalism

I came across another blog post that I found interesting. I always hear the "glamor" side of photojournalism (I am not referring to the wedding photography style, but real newspaper shooters) but never the other less glamorous side. That glamor has always made me think that it would be very rewarding to shoot for a major publication. Dangerous, yes.... but the pay off in the end would be worth it to me. Well, reality check with this story that makes me realize how frustrating it must be to be in that line of work and how much we should all appreciate what our news agencies go through to cover major events around the world.

At least, as a wedding photographer, I know that people will be looking at my images for generations to come. Thats rewarding enough for me....
