Well it was not long before I got drafted into photojournalism. I will relate that tale whenever an image shows up for a suitable illustration. It is sort of strange that photojournalism was my first and last paying gig in photography. Photojournalism is similar to street photography. The primary difference is in photojournalism you know the story and the subject beforehand. The one major rule is the photographer should not adjust the image before or after the capture. The image should remain true what was there without the presence of the photographer. Sad to say this is no longer an important rule to most photojournalist today. That is one reason I no longer choose to be a photojournalist.
This image is more of a snapshot than photojournalism. But can be considered photojournalism because it is an image of the first Sunday Service of a new church in Monroe. Not only is it a new church it has a methodology not common in most modern churches, Go an Tell not Come and See
After an absence from doing photography on a regular basis I decided to do a-picture-a-day-for-a-year project. As a direction I am attempting to use modern images where possible to relate times in my photographic past. As I am no longer a spring chicken, I can get philosophical some times. As a Christian I often see God possibly using me and my photography to send short messages. I hope you enjoy these images as much as I have enjoyed making them around Monroe, NC. TheElmo
