Photography has changed drastically over the last couple
hundred of years. With the change in the technology and photojournalist adjusting
to the change, it has created a better business for them. They were able to
expand their work and get out there. Also with the advancement of cameras it
has created a pathway for improvement. People always find something wrong and
try to fix it and come out with a better version. Technology keeps advancing I
cant even imagine what it will be like in 20 years. The cameras will be able to
instantly print and be able to be posted on the Internet in seconds.
Photojournalist keep capitalizing on the improvement and more and more people
will get into photojournalism. Some photojournalist were old schooled and kept
to their old ways and were slow to adjust to the new technology improvements.
