Digital BW, The Print

The photographer is not just one person. The photojournalist reports the 
facts, but in the hands of Cartier-Bresson, W. Eugene Smith, Lange and 
others the camera was used to convey the hopes, dreams and emotions of 
their subjects better than any other media could have done.

There are many good photographer technicians  but the true photographer, 
the one whose photographs stand the test of time, are more than a 
reporter of fact, they covey in every shot their message, their passion 
and their emotion.
