I don't claim to do photojournalism. I'm an anthropologist.

The folks taking pictures of homeless people are rarely 
photojournalists in the paid sense or the professional sense. They're 
just taking pictures of homeless people and claiming it says 
something about the human condition. I think it says more about them 
as photographers than it does about the human condition.
