    WOW just a ray of sunshine. Like I said trade first college second. No one can take the ability to pull stumps out of the ground away from you. Think taxidermy or morticians, never a slow year :) Out with the old, in with the new. So the whelps have to now learn to video and write as well to earn their
    keep as photographers…….it’s tough evolving tadpoles. Wake up and Nut up, get some skills!!

  2. The art of photography will never be lost because of the decisive moment. Although video is equally as effective aesthetically.

    Journalism is a vehicle for education no matter the medium. There are purposes behind being a journalist which pertain to photography since before Robert Capa stormed the beaches of Normandy. Mathew Brady documented the civil war with single images.

    I belive video is meant to be used in journalism as well. The industry of journalism may not be lucredve any longer but the purpose behind it will always live on.
