But you seem to be both photographer and writer. A.The Globe has been great in giving me that kind of support. I don't think it's typical. The big papers, what they've done, traditionally, is have the reporter take his own pictures as an afterthought and then the pictures are lousy. Photographers, a lot of times, are very good writers.
Photojournalists are taught from time one, they have to be there.
They're not shy, they're not afraid to mix it up. They're not the ones sitting in the hotel bar getting the story at the end of the day. They don't tend to do things by the phone. They don't tend to call expert psychologists. More photographers should write with their cameras.
