When I think of photojournalism, I think to all the photos that without reading anything can instantly entice emotions, either of happiness, sadness, anger, or etc. For me my mind immediately went to 9/11 as those are some of the first major news articles and images I can remember as I was in kindergarten at the time. They still till this day fill me with sadness, shock, and just a hollow feeling inside my chest, these photos are needed to convey just a morsel of what emotions were felt that day and for the people in New York City. The photographers that captured these tragic moments are key in documenting this event for the rest of our existence. In a world where technology is constantly taking priority I believe it's essential that we use it to our advantage to document our history even better than before.
