1st & 2nd rules of photojournalism

"If your picture isn't good enough, you're not close enough." A phrase that can't be repeated too much. Robert Capa was the man. I'm kind of jealous to him (and manymany others) cause I've always wanted to do photography in combat on a war zone. That might actually be the only thing that irritates me of not going to the ordinary military service. (As if I would have had a chance to go Afghanistan or something after my training anyway.) The closest to crisis I've got were the hospitals in Kenya and Malawi, or the house visits to patients. Not complaining though, it was bad also.

Why am I speaking this? Because. Check the rest episodes too.
