A few more questions: <<Q>>> Is it that she's not telling a story?<< A To some degree, but these days everyone thinks they're photojournalists with a collection of single pictures, which wasn't the meaning originally of photojournalist, "a story teller with pictures generally on one subject ." And what we see in the pictures presented are a collection of photographs shot some what in "art fashion" instead, as what's considered photojournalism.>> So, traditional photojournalism is a series of photos, documenting one specific story (does there need to be accompanying text for it to be pj or are images simply enough. If images themselves are allowed, must they be so clear so as to telegraph their "true meaning" or can they be...somewhat subjective, thus allowing the viewer to draw their own conclusions?) Secondly, why can't a series of single pictures (maybe each telling a different part) be considered photojournalism?
