Photojournalism

Taken by: Adm Golub 
This is a picture from the San Bruno fire. This San Francisco State university photojournalism student took this picture. His picture as well as others in his class's pictures were in the San Francisco Chronicle the morning after the fire. This picture shows how big the fire was and also how hard the firemen are working. This picture puts you in the place of the fire.

This picture was taken after 9/11. I found this picture on TIME's website. This picture was in an album called "shattered". In this picture it shows how bad the ashes were after 9/11 was taken place. It shows how people are struggling and how they have to wear masks and walk through the town they used to call home.

This is a photo taken after hurricane Katrina. Volunteers try to rescue the Taylor family from the roof of their car. Floodwaters overpowered and trapped the car on U.S. Highway 90 in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. The family was safely rescued. This picture shows how much the hurricane affected people in Mississippi. It shows you a visual of how bad it was and how hard it was for people to even get away from it.

U.S. soldiers are not allowed to voice is their political opinion. In the privacy of bathroom stalls on military bases in Iraq and Kuwait, however, it is quite a different story. Out of the hundreds of bathroom stalls this photographer saw, he said he did not see one pro-Bush writing, This picture shows how strongly the soldiers feel towards bush. In some of the other pictures I saw, there were writings that said they believe Bush caused 9/11. These soldiers can't voice their opinion so they have a voice by writing it on their bathroom stalls.

“She took it during her one-month stint in Malawi Africa where she worked in orphan day-care centres. The photo was taken from the Mulanji Hospital four-wheel-drive ambulance, traveling to visit the sick who were unable to reach the hospital. This picture tells a story when you look at it. It shows a boy running towards the ambulance. He is joyful for the first time in a while and is happy to see someone trying to help.
