5 Photojournalist Photos


This photo is of a young college girl smoking crack in Ohio. This photo is important because it shows the truth behind many peoples lives. Too many people are affected by drugs and alcohol and it is out of control.

This photo is taken by Yanina Manolova. She framed the photograph by having the pipe be out of focus and have Patricia's face almost dead center. The emphasis from this photo comes from the eyes of the girl. The mood of the image is a somber one because of the girl smoking just to help herself get by.



This is a photo of a young, African boy who is, just like millions of other humans, suffering from immense poverty. This photo shows the pain and suffering felt by the child and it show the world how hard life is for others.

This photo was not signed or sited. The photo is framed in such a way that you can see the boys troubles in life through his facial expression. The mood of this photograph is very sad because it represents a greater truth.



This photo takes place in Kenya and shows the oppression that is happening all around the world. The young boy is scared of the police and it shows that police aren't always wanted at a certain time or in a certain place. 

This was taken by Walter Astrada. He framed the photo from behind a police officer and in front of the boy. The photo almost looks like it is coming from a police officer behind the leading one. The impact of the photo is that of surprise. It is shocking to see people afraid of police when so much strife is taking place.



This photo was taken in Iraq earlier in this millennium. It shows the American Marines taking down the statue of Saddam Hussein. It is important because this represented the fall of Saddam's power in Iraq.

This photo was taken by Jerome Delay, who works for the Associated Press. He framed the photo from the view of someone on the ground. This allows the statue to look bigger and show the power that was once in charge. For Americans, the mood is happy and joyous, but for the Shi'ite Muslims, it is a sad and angering moment.



This photograph comes from the 2009 Yankees WS win. This took place in game 6 when the Yanks won the world series. This was important because it was the first win for the Yankees in over 10 years.

This photo was taken Elise Amendoia. The framing is incredible because she used the out of focus Phillies player to show a sad side of the photo, and the energetic Yankees to show a happy side of the photo. She emphasized the celebration of the Yankees. The mood is both happy and sad.
