Just as the saddest songs can have the most uplifting feeling, the brutal side of these events are required viewing, and contain their own beauty. Also, apologies to any grammar police, it's late over here... ;) Footnote: Just for clarity, I don’t refer to the photo/content “beauty” as a light or strictly positive shot of perspective.

Personally, I feel that WPP and other salutes to photojournalism forget this: The photo is often before the journal. While the context of the photo is tied to the image being shared by it's very category in the medium, to me a world-class image should transcend the story, standing up to the objective "great photo" it's classing specifically for praise. My case? I photograph people without pose at any chance I get, and that's heavily cultivated my PJ interests. When I shoot events/travel/etc, my aim is to get a photo that (God, hopefully!) uses it's beauty to drive home the story or inspire curiosity for more, while obviously containing enough elements for at least base social context. Of course, what's awarded "great" under any measure will please some, displease others. That's the trip of this world we live in, thank goodness for variety sake! So, my late night thoughts on the matter. I say that because what do I know, I haven't raced through warzones! Any (somewhat) sane person who decides to put their safety at risk to such a degree is far beyond more than me claiming this as more than an observing opinion. As today's' death in Syria of photographer Remi Ochlik shows, photographers have their own lost soldiers, and deserve a good deal of the same respect. 'Nuff said.

]]> Comment on Nikon D800 Camera is Here. What do YOU Think? by Steve http://blog.chasejarvis.com/blog/2012/02/nikon-d800-camera-is-here-what-do-you-think/#comment-49323 Steve Thu, 23 Feb 2012 02:03:53 +0000 http://blog.chasejarvis.com/blog/?p=7533#comment-49323 Like other posters, I was hoping for the true D700 upgrade - 1 more stop of ISO and same or better frame rate. My use is for wildlife photography. The D800 drops the frame rate (presumably because of increased megapixels), but based on press adds the ISO. The D4 of course provides all I want, but not in an affordable and lightweight package like the D700.
