The premise of the article is that the "raw material" for photojournalism are wars, famines and natural disasters. I think that's wrong. This is one of the reasons I stopped going to the World Press Photo exhibitions--it is always the war or disaster du jour that wins that award. Frankly, I don't care if I ever see another picture from Darfur or Afghanistan. I am much more interested in stuff like what Ric (to take an example we see every week) shows--daily life seen in an interesting way.
