Starting off it he starts to establish what David really is within a conversation with Bill Jay. I like how David says that profesionals should be considered the best of the best but then explained that politians and journalists are both hated and the later are essentially tabloid sensationalists, and I've never really thought about it that way. Then the conversation shifts to how famous photojournalist pidgeon hole themselves into only taking non artistic rubbish. Bill explains how another photographer compares photojournalism and fine-art photography. They both have...
>enthusiasm for [thier] subject, careful planning, working the situation through many, many images, etc. And then adds that photojournalist can get away with publishing their seconds (less than their best) and artist can only show off their best of the best. David agreed that both of their methods are identical but states that the seconds are
>necessary for pace and rhythm in the layout Then they go over the history of "documentary photographers" and how they're supposed to be an unbiased source and how hey should be viewed as objective truths but that isnt what David is all about. Then follows a really great quote that to me stands out
>I never claim my photographs reveal some definitive truth. I claim that this is what I saw and felt about the subject at the time the pictures were made. That’s all that any photographer can claim. I do not know any great photographer who would presume otherwise.Then they go on to talk about David's college course. Then they get down what David really sees himself as, a "reportage photographer"
>It implies a personal account of an observed event with connotations of subjectivity but honesty. It is eye-witness photography.1/2
