A picture to change our history

Many people don't realize how photography plays such an important role in our world, and even in our American history. Because of photography, people were able to capture the essence of what our history was. They were able to to capture a better image what who and what our history was.


Robert Capa was a photojournalist that changed our history and photojournalism. Photojournalism is where you travel as a photographer, but right about the pictures you take. For example, the pictures you see in the National Geographic.. these are from photo journalist. Robert Capa arrived on Omaha beach on June 6, D-Day, with the first infinity unit. He was there to document D-Day. He used 4 rolls of film, out of which 11 pictures turned out. One of these 11 pictures in labeled, "Pressure under fire"... this picture will become one of the most famous pictures of are time.

This picture has changed are history, all because of Robert Capa, the Photojournalist. To be able to capture time, and lock it into an image is priceless. This is why I love photography.

Like looking back at pictures when I was a little kid. You always see people taking pictures so they have memories.

I think being a photojournalist would be really hard. For example, they often go into dangerous areas, and Capa could very easily have been killed.
