After touring about 50 or so photojournalism images (or at least images tagged with that across the net), I'm finding that photojournalism must be wonderfully rewarding for the the photographer, but depressing for the viewer. I mean, most famous "moving" photos that really make a photojournalist's career are disturbing images of violence, inhumanity, or sadness. I mean where are all of the uplifting photojournalists? Where are all of the people trying to make me feel good with their images instead of making me feel like prying open my checkbook for a tax deductible contribution to some human rights fund.
Can you think of ONE famous journalistic photo that didn't have a negative connotation? I'm on a quest.
