The theme for this month is

Photo Journalism
So what do I mean by this?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photojournalism

Photojournalism is a particular form of journalism (the collecting, editing, and presenting of news material for publication or broadcast) that creates images in order to tell a news story. It is now usually understood to refer only to still images, and in some cases to video used in broadcast journalism. Photojournalism is distinguished from other close branches of photography (such as documentary photography, street photography or celebrity photography) by the qualities of:

• Timeliness — the images have meaning in the context of a published chronological record of events.

• Objectivity — the situation implied by the images is a fair and accurate representation of the events they depict.

• Narrative — the images combine with other news elements, to inform and give insight to the viewer or reader.

So what we are looking for is  a photo that tells a story..

Was there a news story that you happened to have your camera for?

You could also make up something !!!

It could be as simple as a baby's first steps

It could also be a picture of your dog...with a silly story you made up..

or a serious social or political commentary

Keep it short..just a few lines..

If it's an actual news story..please share a link with us..
