"I'm in"

Photo journalism is the art of logging events into history and portraying a story through a visual medium. Usually, these events are sensational and political, but it may also be mundane and relatable. My goal was to capture something incredibly boring, like a child spending time on his PC but capture some magic in it. My brother doesn't do many interesting things with it, but he certainly is attached to it and spends most of his day on it. I tried to shoot quick enough to catch him with no outside influence. My best photo by far was the last, but I enjoy all three's perspectives. Lighting could be drastically improved.

Henri Cartier Bresson was a French photographer who captured industrialized society during most of the 20th century. His ability to capture the "decisive moment" makes his work incredibly compelling. The timing and framing is crucial, and a photo doesn't need to be undisturbed or staged to better it. For instance, the first shot is very relaxed, as shown by the posture of the two gentlemen. One can infer the man at the shelf is a cashier who sold them the cigars and maybe participating in casual conversation. This moment feels real, and the framing feels entirely natural. The second image has a healthy blend of the two. Some people are staring Henri dead in the eye and capture the edgy feel of the city. Some others are just to busy to look, haven't seen him in the crowd, or don't care. This capturing of "the decisive moment" both makes these images glimpses into the past, but also into the very second the picture was taken.
