Photojournalism is a news story presented through photographs with a supplementary written copy. Photographical is the cpaturing of impressions whether they're vivid or accurate.
I chose Gordon Park's picture of Ella Watson in front of the american flag holding a mop and broom. I think that sometimes people can forget that no one person can work an entire nation without every big and little person. (Big or little meaning their job). Everyone is needed to make something great.
In this picture, I think this is what Park's was trying to get across. Hard work is needed from everyone so that bigger and better things are accomplished in all our futures.
People have become so much more shallower and negative. They don't think "outside the box" therefore causing trapped society bent on basics. We have suddenly become the mice in a cage game where we're all trapped and losing due to our own one sided self-heroism. We should be together as one; people say we are but we're not. If we're together as one then we should stand as one without any thought of superior race or religious hate. Like I said Park's probably took the picture to remind us that we're all not a one person hero of peace but a united world of equal opinion where no one is afraid to say what they feel.
