"100 Photographs That Changed the World by Life - The Digital Journalist." 100 Photographs That Changed the World by Life - The Digital Journalist. Web. 16 Nov. 2012. <http://digitaljournalist.org/issue0309/lm12.html>. 100 Days in Photographs is an intriguing visual journey throughout the past. It contains 100 photographs that represent important moments of the last 150 years. This book allowed me to learn about several events that opened my eyes to the past. The pictures within reminded me how important some unforgettable events are, as well as inform me about events I never even knew occurred. The book also incorporates useful notes on what is going on in the pictures. I am going to use famous pictures in this book to show how publishing these photos changed the world. For example, I am using a picture taken in the Vietnam War that caused people to act when they saw it the news. This picture, found in 100 Days in Photographs, played a huge role in the ceasing of the war. Absolute Victory: America's Greatest Generation and Their World War II Triumph. New York: Time, 2005. Print. Absolute Victory features the events that occurred throughout World War II. It includes hundreds of photos of a soldiers daily life during the war, as well as information about the photojournalists who took them. It also talks about how their pictures changed their community. This book taught me how much emotion a single photo can create. I would read a passage on a sad event, and feel a little bit of sorrow, but when I looked at the pictures next to it, I was horrified! Now I realize why more people started to act upon things like war after photojournalism was invented: the pictures were so emotional that the made you want to do something. You wanted to help this starving kids or injured soldiers. I am using the passages about the photojournalists and their thoughts about their pictures and how they affected the world. "Federal Dead on the Field of Battle of First Day Gettysburg Pennsylvania Mathew Brady, 1863 Photo - Oleg Moiseyenko's Stock Photography Photos at Pbase.com." PBase. Web. 16 Nov. 2012.

Mathew Brady took this photograph, Federal Dead on the Field of Battle of First Day Gettysburg Pennsylvania, in 1863. This photo illustrates the men who died out in the battlefield on the first day in the Battle of Gettysburg. It is known as the photograph that brought the battlefield home because when people saw it in the newspaper, they tried to get the war to end so they could bring their troops home, and eventually succeeded. This picture will be used as one of my pictures on my poster board as an example of activism brought about by photojournalism. "History of People in Photojournalism." LoveToKnow. Web. 16 Nov. 2012. <http://photography.lovetoknow.com/History_of_People_in_Photojour nalism>. The article History of People in Photojournalism provides information about famous photojournalists throughout the 1800s and 1900s. It talks about the photos they took, their accomplishments, and how their photos changed photojournalism. The article allowed me to see what a photojournalists life is like. I never knew how risky being a photojournalist was. If you are a photojournalist, you have to get close to your subject, even if your subject is in the middle of the war. This page explains how several photojournalists lost their lives trying to shoot the perfect picture. The Tetons- Snake River moolf. Web. 28 Nov. 2012. <http://research.archives.gov/description/519904>. The Tetons- Snake River was a photo taken by Ansel Adams in 1936. This famous photograph illustrates natures beauty in a black-and-white photograph of Snake River and the wilderness surrounding it. In my opinion, Adams pictures turned photography into fine art. Whats more, they shaped the way Americans thought of their nations wilderness and, with that, how to preserve it. In 1936, Adams accompanied his photos to Washington to lobby for the preservation of the Kings Canyon area in California. Sure enough, he was successful, and it was declared a national park. I shall use this picture to represent how people acted when they saw pictures in the news, and what they did about it. "Mother of Seven Children." Mother of Seven Children. Web. 30 Nov. 2012. <http://www.loc.gov/pictures/resource/fsa.8b29516/>. This photograph, known as Migrant Mother was taken during a period of time known as the Great Depression by Dorothea Lange in 1936. It is a picture of a mother and her seven children nearly starving to death in a camp in Nipomo, California. Also known as the photo that gave face to the Great

Depression this photo has earned this title because when Migrant Mother was published in the paper, the family and her camp were immediately shipped 20,000 pounds of food. Migrant Mother will be used as one of my pictures on my poster board as an example of activism brought about by photojournalism. Murder of a Vietcong by Saigon Police Chief PBase. Web. 26 Nov. 2012. Eddie Adams, 1968. <http://www.pbase.com/omoses/image/118045027>. Murder of a Vietcong by Saigon Police Chief was taken by Eddie Adams in 1968. This photograph illustrates the captain of Vietcong being shot by a Saigon Police Chief. It instantly became an icon of the wars savagery. It would appear that you should dislike the Chief, however what was not mentioned was that the captain murdered dozens of people that day. Unfortunately, this was not mentioned in the newspaper, and the Chief was hated and unaccepted wherever he went. I shall incorporate this in my project as an example of activism, and how one snapshot might not explain a whole story.

It says that one of photojournalisms longest standing benefits is that the public is more likely to accept a photograph as true or evidence of a news story. I will use this website in my history day project by using it to show how photojournalism effected people when it was first invented.

Paragraph three clearly states why it is so important to have photos in journalism, because photos help people see things in another dimension of information that words cant.

In one of the photographs it says, Photojournalists must make decisions instantly and carry equipment such as cameras, often while exposed to the same risks (war, rioting, and so forth) that are faced by text-only journalists. The fact that they rarely have the option to stand back or wait until the danger is over means they may take even more risks.
