I miss compelling photgraphy too. Gladly, in our own local newspaper there are always two "angle" photos in every newspaper. Every day, two really good and arty photos with more to tell than just "normal" journal photos can tell. In my humbe opinion, image from actual situation with strong message/story is always better than the most beautiful art pic you can ever take. One of the books I admire most, is book of journal photos of the year. Dunno have you guys peeked those images, but man, one just can't do such beautiful images in studio. Mostly horrible images, but somehow, so beautiful. Images like Richard said, young vietnamese napalm burnd girl running towards the camera. Beautiful images with horrible subject. Telling more than thousand words. Effecting more than thousand bombs, than thousand politicians. Does anyone have link for the site where one can find journal photos of the year? (I'm here tough mobile and don't have fast connection enough for searching.) .n ps. beautiful images Alpha, I really mean that.
