What It Means to See Like a Photojournalist
About this episode
The episode discusses the insights gained from photojournalism and the journey of a photography intern as she prepares to leave for college.
Most of us have a kind of functional vision. We get around – to the grocery store, the farmers market, the Fourth of July parade – but the familiarity sands it down. Photojournalists have to fight that. They have to notice what a community is actually saying about itself, frame by frame. For three years, Peninsula Pulse photographer Larry Mohr has been teaching Pulse photography intern Remy Carmichael to see that way. This fall, having graduated from high school, she leaves for the University of Vermont. Before that, Remy and Larry talk with Pulse Editor Debra Fitzgerald about the difference between taking a photo and telling the truth about a place.
